I didnt know where to put this... selfish or not? (Long Post)

Handouts are by nature active. You ask someone to give you money for something without giving anything in return. A gofundme is no different than standing on a street corner with cup and a sign. Not chasing them down the street doesn't make it passive.

Active solicitation with somethin in return is selling or investing if you are offering them more money back.

Totaliy passive requires someone give you money WITHOUT asking.

That is a good point. There is some form of activeness in just setting it up. I guess i was thinking about more in terms of promoting the crowdfund source and that theoretically wouldnt be actively promoting it. I didnt even consider that people would view making it in the first place as an active act.
