The Smile.Amazon program was pretty rad. I managed to contribute some extra funds to the EFF and talked a few friends into picking them as their charity too. I think the EFF received almost a million dollars from that program. Then one day Amazon was like "nah, we hate helping people" and just cancelled the program.

I stopped seeing things about it but I didn't even realize they killed it. What a shame.

They said it didn't have as big of an impact as they had hoped, so they were cancelling it. A rational person would say "it's not as impactful as we want, so we're improving it", but big corporations are all about killing projects.
