I feel a little confused as to why more people don't seem to do it. Apparently you can get like $200-300 a week and it seems like there are no serious short term or long term side effects, but I feel like I must be missing something.

The plasma centers make medicines from your antibodies and shit. Technically you aren't selling your plasma, and it is a donation, but they are Just compensating you for your time. That's the loophole I guess

Idk why blood banks don't pay except for a $10 amazon gift card or a tshirt here and there. Maybe they just have enough public goodwill and there is still enough altruism left in this world
