[PSA][Humble Bundle] Always adjust your donation (check those flipping sliders)

I was checking one of the Humble Comic Bundles available and, as usual, I went on to customize the splitting of my payment. To my surprise, there was a new slider I had never seen before for GG.deals. The defaults are ridiculous.

1. Default Donation

   • €9.13 to Dynamite Entertainment
   • €0.91 to World Central Kitchen
   • €5.48 to Humble
   • €2.74 to GG.deals

2. "Extra" to Charity

   • €7.76 to Dynamite Entertainment
   • €2.74 to World Central Kitchen
   • €5.48 to Humble
   • €2.28 to GG.deals

I already knew that the payment splitting usually sucks, especially Humble taking a fixed amount that might sometimes feel a bit too much (fixed 30% to Humble while default for charity is a mere 5% -less than 1€-), that's why I like to adjust my splitting. But what I didn't know is that if, for some reason, you've followed a referral link at any given time, they'll be getting a cut from your payment and you won't know about it unless you click on that "Adjust Donation" dropdown. What troubles me most is that they're taking 15% (default) and 12,5% ("extra" to charity). Meaning by default they're getting three times more than the charity O_o

I still have to find a way to remove that referral, I've had a look around the settings but I haven't found anything.

EDIT: You can manage it by going to https://www.humblebundle.com/partner and clicking "Opt Out" in the blue section at the top. There will only be a blue section if you have a partner linked. (thanks to ProphetFinagle)

I don't have anything against referrals, but this is somewhat wrong. If Humble wants to reward their referrals, they can do it from they cut. I also don't like how they enforce a minimum (30%!) cut for themselves, while publishers can get 0%. Yes, they're running the site, but without publishers giving them their games, books, comics, assets, software,... bundles wouldn't exist. They should also take a minimum cut (which should be taken, of course, from Humble's cut). 25%-5%, 20%-10%,... I don't know, but what is going on now doesn't feel right.

So, TLDR, check where your money is going and act accordingly to what you feel about Humble and/or the publishers. I tend to do an "all to charity" (minus Humble's enforced cut) if I don't like how the publisher designed the bundle: region locks, keys for a base game that can't be upgraded to a "deluxe" or "collector" edition unless you remove it from your account and repurchase it again (i.e. Vertigo, Control,...), knowingly giving keys to specially made depots so you can redeem them even if you already own the contents, lots of rebundles,... And, of course, I always adjust Humble's amount to their enforced minimum.
