Reading this most charitably, the implication seems to be that his action _isn't enough_.
That he should also devote his efforts full time to combating the problems he speaks about for less compensation, or donate the excess compensation to related causes, otherwise the action is unworthy.
These are restatements of classic utilitarian dilemmas, as stated by, among many others, Peter Singer[0].
"In a society in which the narrow pursuit of material self-interest is the norm, the shift to an ethical stance is more radical than many people realize."
