    [OC] Das Spendensammeln am Red Nose Day ist real zusammengebrochen, aber das liegt nicht daran, dass die Haushalte knapp sind


    Ich war überrascht, dass ein so geringer Betrag gesammelt wurde, bevor mir klar wurde, dass dies ein langfristiger Trend war. Hängt das damit zusammen, wie viel Geld britische Haushalte übrig haben, um es für wohltätige Zwecke zu spenden? Nicht wirklich.

      I don’t know what’s happened with their distribution but you don’t seem them anywhere nowadays. They did seem to fall off a cliff like the chart shows. Maybe something changed in the business model that put shops off selling it or a controversy

      We’re being squeezed in the UK from every angle. The families that are lucky enough to have financial headroom are saving that headroom for when they need it themselves.

      Sources: Comic Relief totals from official history / ONS CRXX (RHDI per head, CVM ref 2023) / ONS NRJS (household savings ratio) / ONS CPI (2015=100). Financial headroom = RHDI per head × savings ratio, reflated to 2026 prices. Chart built in React

      More Netflix, less TV and BBC I think is the main reason. Why pay the license fee when you can get 3 streaming services for the same price and even if you do- way more shows on the others

      Who is really watching BBC1 live now? Before you might intentionally watch RND; I’ve not watched linear TV in so long, I don’t even know when it’s on.

      I didn’t realise it was even on until I saw it advertised on catchup.

      Long gone are the days when every other car had a red nose on it…

      Where is this spare money data coming from? We’re in the middle of a cost of living crisis where many people are choosing between eating or staying warm.

      Id argue it’s a case of more TV channels so there is a much greater chance of not knowing it’s happening, combined with people feeling skint in places wages have been stagnant for well over a decade.

      It was a thing when I was at school, and since then I’ve never heard anyone mention it. So if you’re relying mainly on children and families to donate, there’s not going to be much available for a donation.

      Average financial headroom per head doesn’t tell you whether households are skint or not.

      2000 2000 2000 has an average of 2000

      0 0 6000 has an average of 2000.

      So that graph about financial headroom per head doesn’t tell is whether most people have money or not. It just tells us money exists in the system but it says nothing about how concentrated it is.

      In 2000 2000 2000 scenario all three can afford to give. In 0 0 6000 scenario only one can afford to give, and they’re not going to give triple the amount to make up for the other two not having money, so donations plummet even though average headroom doesn’t change.

      Maybe people got sick of being constantly told to fund the poor and needy via charity, because the government deliberately destroyed the tax-funded social safety net.

      Just a guess, but aren’t there far more charities nowadays? Maybe it’s just a matter of better distribution. It’d be nice to have a line for overall charity donations in the UK.

      I’d like to think it’s because people have started to wake up to the fact that most charities are just massive scams where only a fraction of the money raised actually goes to those who need it.
