Some people online are hilarious/unhinged.
So, Mrs B runs a small design business. Mainly patterns sold via PDF but some physical items. Everything is ethically sourced, fair pay for suppliers and no animal products at any point in production.
Due to the nature and customer base of her business she has a Facebook community. It's not a sales page, but is related to enthusiasts for this type of thing. There are about 16k members who share their work and are a community.
Twice a year Mrs B does free stuff, released daily for a month, seasonal themed designs and people use her patterns to join in. Additionally she does an annual charity one, effectively free or pay what you want, all the proceeds go to UNICEF, a charity supporting people, particularly children, in war-torn places like Palestine, Ukraine, Syria etc.
So on her 16k Facebook page some woman kicks off about her choice of charity. "They make profit, the money doesn't go to these people, you're exploiting us" etc. Mrs B was somewhat apologetic, said although it was clearly stated what the donations were for she would refund the money this woman had paid.
Now, firstly, upon checking the records and then confirming with this woman, she had never actually paid a single penny to the fund to be refunded, Mrs B then had to withstand a 3 day barrage of clearly misinformed (YouTube Rabbithole theory shit) and increasingly irate emails (she started communicating via email once the Facebook group turned in her) from this lady.
Mrs B and her lovely (mainly older ladies) have raised about $20,000 for a charity helping kids in war torn and disaster hit countries, and some mad internet warrior decides it's is a good use of her, and a lovely ethical businesspersons time, discussing their crackpot alt-truth theories.
I'm less tolerant. Fuck off you sad little person.
