  Page & Yang were dropouts too and the list goes on and on... There is something I don't understand in your story. There seem to be a couple of employees and you seem to be the only developer... Did this lady found a way to hire a team without paying anybody or are you the only one? Pay "cuts" usually come with a lager equity grant... very simple equation : share the risk, share the benefit. In your situation it doesn't really matter at this point. The main reason you should leave is the CEO... She seems clueless (based on your description) especially when she says you're naive and "that everybody does it" (spamming twitter) and that's why you guys should do it... If everybody "does it" and it annoys users then it's exactly the reason not to do it. A successfull consumer startup is about doing something new, smart, unexpectedly helpfull to users and surprisingly disruptive to the industry... Spamming users is the naive approach! Lesson learned... The lesson here is that the people you chose to work with are more important then the ideas you will possibly work on... I'm working on a recommendation engine too, I'd love to chat with you...

    I'm not sure, I have never asked anyone else about their compensation or explained mine, I've always heard that is impolite to do at a company. However, I do always enjoy talking about technology, if you have any questions you'd like to run by me I'm more than happy to chat!
