If we're going to continue doing capitalism, we need to celebrate when people who are responsible for quality products are paid comfortably but not so much that their pay disrupts other peoples' status.
700k very much qualifies in today's world.
Stop being crabs in a bucket.
Guy who wants to continue doing capitalism
If you want to change capitalism structure, tearing down privacy tools is not the way to do it.
How much does the equivalent salary at Whatsapp pay?
Seriously so much this!!!
These people have a great product and they should be paid enough to keep them from seeking other sources of income. That's how we got Facebook. Plus having the numbers publicly available is a big plus.
You guys are out of your gd minds I'm not going to sit here and explain what a mode of production is to you, or that executives are not proletarians. Jesus H. Christ
You missed part of my post.
If shit was spread equally, everyone would make >$500 grand a year.
FWIW not on income but on top wealth, Musk has $792 Billion (ffs...) so ~$1000B and we are 8.4B Earthlings so ~10B. If we were to spread equality his wealth (which I'm all for) it would "only" gives each of us ~$100. Conclude from that what you will but to me it's just a reminder of just how many people we are. A lot.
PS: this isn't about income and it might be totally different there. If you have a better metric and approximation I'd be all ears.
You ought to be tormented by ghosts of Filipino tuna fishermen for such a remark. Firstoids are completely delusional.
That is a wild amount of hate.
