This is why I don't donate.

  Hosting costs are small for most sites not doing things like streaming video or data storage. Human costs are high - an average American software engineer is probably at 100k or more, and it takes many of them to operate a site. This is like saying you wouldn't pay your doctor or barber because the electricity is only 1% of the total revenue.

    Except the doctors or barbers that operate inside the facility are volunteers who receive nothing for their service.
