Having to pay $10 million per person is how far behind Yahoo! is at the moment.

  I'd agree they're overpaying because they're behind, but let's not simplify this too much. They did not pay $30m to 3 people in exchange for them 3 people working with them.

    Yahoo! paid $30 mil and, in exchange, got 3 people working for them. Not all the money made its way into those people's hands, but from Y!'s perspective I think the summary is fair.

    Clearly, but that seemed to be the accepted HN Hater narrative about this topic so I went with it...
