> Because Facebook (and Google, for that matter) discovered a money hose that is called online advertising They are more generous because they have more money? Preposterous. That's not how businesses work. Businesses pay the lowest possible salaries regardless of how much money they make. If they are paying high salaries that's because that's what it takes to hire the top talent. The laws of supply and demand come into play here, not generosity.
