When I used GoFundMe a few weeks ago, paying them was optional. It’s possible they were lying but they made it seem like I could pay them as little as I wanted and if I chose 0, all my money would go to the person/org I’m trying to support. I think they defaulted it to 5% but allowed me to choose 0. I honestly think supporting gofundme isn’t a bad idea (they build and maintain software and infrastructure to make donations easy) but in that case I wanted the recipient to get it all.
You are correct but IIRC you have to opt out as their commission is included by default. Found this out after donating, it was easy to go back and undo it

Ah ok. Maybe at one point it was easy to overlook, but it wasn’t for me when I made my recent donation. Good they let you change it.
