This is the topic worth discussing. The time I spent on HN e.g. today, bitching about Uber, would not likely contribute anything to curing cancer if I were doing anything else with it. It would be great to have more ways to capture little amounts of unskilled effort from many people and channel them into something good. But besides working more to give more to charity, I'm out of ideas.
