    Wouldn’t that allow people to profit who put in no work? I think this becomes a moral issue on some level as I don’t generally agree with people making money off of the work of others.

      The payment to investors in this case isn’t based on a non-worker solely appropriating the fruits of labor. The payment is satisfaction of the liability workers jointly appropriate as part of the negative product. Paying covers the costs of the negative product. It is compensation to the investors for the capital they supplied and the work they did building up that much capital @lemmyshitpost
