They originally said "10% of profits," but weren't profitable. So they gave to charity anyway and changed it to, "portions of the proceeds."

I'm not seeing the problem here? Their original statement set the floor at $0. They donated more and made the statement more accurate.

Product is shit and charity is a scam, but why is Tim Pool, best known for taking a stance on nothing, making a big deal out of this absolutely nothing issue? Only people who have a case for being annoyed are the shareholders because a company who isn't even profitable is giving away their money.
