I mean maybe not exactly, but there's a lot of Mitchell Baker hate [0], even in this thread. [0]: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&que

  Yes? There's a significant difference between hating a CEO and saying that you wouldn't donate to the org specifically because of their presence. I would suspect that the most likely case is that people objected to specific actions, not the person, and that they're not going to change their minds unless the new CEO changes how the org operates.

    I mean, there are these two comments [0] [1] from some time ago. Looking more closely at your original argument: "I'd love to donate, but if only Mitchell Baker weren't making such a mess of it"; I've only read "I'd love to donate, but Mozilla won't let me donate to the browser". First, I think a lot of the comments in the search fall under the category of "Mozilla isn't well run and I don't think they'd spend my donation well", because I think you have to file every comment about Baker's salary increasing while revenue and Firefox market share are decreasing in that folder. But second, I think the two options you gave up there are actually the same option. I think a lot of people commenting here think Firefox is the only thing that Mozilla should work on, the overwhelming majority of resources should be spent on it, and you should be able to donate directly to it. Anything else is poor management and not worthy of their donation.
