Sharing socially could even negatively correlate, because sharing socially is a good way to get the social good will of being savvy and a donor,

In this case I don't think so. Sharing such an article is bound to produce situations in which other people ask you for your donation habits.

Possibly... at least in the US there seems to be a social taboo against those sorts of questions.

Normally yes, but do you think the taboo would still exists when person shares an article like that?

I went ahead and shared it a couple of days ago and so far haven't gotten any comments. How did you fare?

How did you fare?

I haven't shared it myself.

Sounds like a good time for an experiment... let's both share it and see what comments we get.
