Has anyone else noticed the new push by charities to even out contributions by pushing monthly donation deductions -- and the parallel development of cloud drive technology?

We are moving into an online pay-as-you-go economic structure. The charities I receive mail from are trying to regularize their cash flow with requests for 10, 15, 25, 100, 200 monthly [automatically renewable?] commitments instead of 25, 35, 100, 500 one-time donations [although they still accept those, thank goodness], and at the same time everyone is offering free “for now” cloud drive space for programs, documents, images, etc, and the telcos are pushing digital wallets. I for one will not go down this road except to use “free” cloud as a convenience [for now] until the last personal storage media have become obsolete!
