Doesn't it somehow rub you the wrong way to pay employees in "passion" versus money? In my head, money is equivalent to respect. If the majority of the earnings from your work goes to someone else and you still have to do work really hard ("because we're changing the world! everyone has to pitch in! weeeeee!!"), you are ipso facto in a position of weakness and are not earning the respect of your superiors. There is something that seems very wrong about this.
