I get your point in principle, but a startup doing whatever tf they want with their profits is a completely different kettle of fish from a charity doing whatever tf they want with donations.
Especially when said donations were donated under the impression they'd be used specifically towards the charity's cause, rather than inflating a c-suite executive's bonus for the umptieth time.
- lkrubner 4y ago"rather than inflating a c-suite executive's bonus for the umptieth time." The point is, if they are being paid 30% or 40% more than what I get paid when I am at a poorly funded startup (that is, if they are getting paid what I would be paid if I was working at a larger firm) then you cannot say their salary is inflated, unless you want to argue that everyone working in tech has an inflated salary -- and you can certainly make that argument, but you should do so clearly, and at that point your complaint is not about WikiMedia anymore.
