More bold text. I assure you that this text is very bold. Bold text.
CEO makes big pay cheque, quelle surprise. I'm shocked. Shocked I tell ya!
It's standard. Do I think CEOs should be paid millions? Nah. But I'm not going to single out one tech CEO making $7m when there's others out there making $250m
Again, Mozilla is a dying company. I'm not "presenting" it as anything. I'm staying a fact. I'm not making it up. If you think they're a healthy company then I have a bridge to sell you.
We get it, you want Firefox to have no funding and die. I don't. I don't want a full Google monopoly.
Bold text.

I didn't gloss over it as acceptable, I said it's standard and if anything low for the industry. It's weird to single them out and shit on them. Not to mention completely irrelevant to this discussion.
No, you don't want Mozilla to thrive, because you're getting angry at them for wanting to diversify, which they need to do if they don't want to die.
You want them to abandon their income. Guess what? Without that they're dead. So what's your solution?
This isn't some fantasy land where the magic fairies can work on Firefox out of the goodness of their hearts while we all frolic in flowery fields. Firefox needs to pay their staff and you're saying they need to cut off all funding and stop trying to find alternative revenue streams.

I like how you assume I assume that. I've never said anything of the sort. You're just making up rubbish.
All I said was that Mozilla needs to diversify and that throwing away their needed income will kill them. It's insane you think otherwise. An organisation like Mozilla has sizable costs, you can't just handwave that away.
Staff expect to be paid. They can't just say to their workers "good job, champ, here's your £0 paycheque, spend it wisely!"
More making stuff up. I do care about them. That's why I don't want Mozilla to die, which they will if they follow your insane plan of just continuing what they're doing now, only without any funding coming in.
Ffs, stop making stuff up. When I say staff, I mean staff. I don't mean the CEO. That's why I said staff. When I say staff I mean staff and when I say CEO I mean CEO.
Mozilla staff will not work for free. If Mozilla killed off their income, staff will not work for them.
You may not realise this, but Firefox and other offerings require people working on them. It doesn't get worked on overnight by magical pixies. It gets worked on by people who expect to be paid for their work. I don't get why this is such a hard concept for you?

A lower pay means the CEO will just move where he'll get that salary. It's very unfortunately a result of supply and demand, which pretty much everyone is forced to partake in, which includes mozilla
