That’s because there are still enough willing pawns that accept these offers without knowing what they’re getting. That won’t change until the market wakes up and enough people stop subjecting themselves to such nonsense to the point that companies can’t hire. Until then, as the saying goes there’s a sucker born every minute. If you think I’m being syndical, ask a typical startup to see everything people have described in this tread and watch them squirm.

If we were more informed, then they would have to start being more open about the actual value. I feel like this kind of thing could almost be taught to CS students in some kind of negotiation class!
