I definitely wasn’t inspired by the post by that guy interested in selling their kidney /s
I’ve donated for a few months at a time back when I was dirt broke. In the short term the extra money can be a lifeline but in the long term it has more health risks associated that I’m comfortable with. There’s a lot of conflicting pressures in the actual donor center too. On the one hand they need you to donate at least twice per month to even get enough plasma that it can go to an eligible donor, and they incentivize you coming back as many times per month as is legal; I think it’s 8-10 times per month. On the other hand donating that much clearly isn’t healthy if you aren’t in excellent shape yourself. Do it too much will will make you more anemic and increase your overall fatigue, weakens your immune system, can lead to scarring in your elbows and a fuck ton of other lower chance but more serious complications.

As a Linux nerd, I thought you’re talking about KDE Plasma lol
I will take those chuckles out of your post if you don’t mind.
Sure you can :)
Pros: u get money Cons: human traffickers can make ton of money
What? How? I’ve never heard of any link between blood plasma and human trafficking. Can you share a source or am I reading too much into your comment?
My guess would be traffickers selling the plasma of their “livestock”.
But by donating you’d increase the supply and they’d make less money, so that doesn’t quite check out.
