How can the smartest people be so dumb?
Please, please, PLEASE.. if you care about a healthy open internet, donate to Mozilla, Thunderbird, and/or the EFF, at the minimum, if you're able to.
I liked to subscribe to Youtube Premium to support my favourite channels but this kinda stuff turns me off.
Do you know that donation to Mozilla don't (and can't legally) fund Firefox development, right? (opposite to what happens for Thunderbird, actually).
But, hey, you can guarantee Mozilla's CEO a better retirement:
Thus, your money are better spent donating to Thunderbird or EFF or whatever other foundation that does something actually useful.
Yeah, you're gonna have to cite your sources on that one.
Excel, Data Source 1 is "Chair pay" and Data Source 2 is "Firefox usage"
Two lines on a graph don't prove that statement. What you've proven is that the chair of Mozilla is making more as the market share is going down. Now connect the dots with a source that shows why those numbers matter and you're golden.
I haven't tried to prove anything. I replied what the data sources were on the chart. It wasn't a serious comment and it's not my chart
Mozilla income went from $78m to $497m. It's a much bigger organisation to before. Also if you inflation rate the 500k pay, it's now worth $710k

The web changed, and complexity increased and even staying in there against a larger adversary is hard. Unless you run a company that is competing with Google, I don't think you're really qualified to comment.
Edit: Just realise your description has "Fuck Mozilla!" and you've been bashing it since you started on Lemmy. Looks very shilly to me.
