    Eh, I think 500k is quite fair. She was hired from a successful career at a variety of nonprofits. As a negative comparison, see the ridiculous Mozilla Foundation, which paid their CEO nearly 7 million in 2023 to drive their browser into the ground and spout BS about AI ad tracking nonsense.

      Despite whataboutism, you are right.

      Both salaries are so far away from the average that it feels immoral to me. 500k, if I would give 15$, it would require 34000 donations like mine to pay for just one person. (But that’s just the distance to my preferred utopia. Maybe she is extraordinary in her field and lots of money is required to have someone with her qualifications to work for you.)

      Or in other metrics… I wasn’t able to find the cost for running the technical aspect of the platform. How much money is spent for servers, bandwidth, power, research and development? How does that compare to the overall budget? If that was (is) in a reasonable relation (at least 50%)…
