Comment on Mozilla 2023 Annual Report: CEO pay skyrockets, while Firefox Marketshare nosedives
helenslunch@feddit.nl 1 year agoLike, which is it? Do you want Mozilla to diversify and have a more sustainable revenue stream, or do you want them to focus on Firefox
Presumably these are different people.

That’s the thing. They aren’t different people. Just people with unrealistic expectations.

There are plenty of legitimate criticisms, I’m not sure why you decided to respond to this comment exclusively.
IIRC deleted response to your comment pointed out that you say Mozilla employees need to be paid, but Mozilla fired its employees and then paid its CEO more. So if we’re talking about misaligned ideas…

It’s the only criticism that matters. Yeah, I’m irked by the CEO making millions too, but that’s unfortunately the standard for pretty much any widely known company.
Shit, Mozilla is actually on the low end in that space. So while I don’t like the egregiously high pay, it seems weird to call Mozilla out on it specifically.
And Mozilla having layoffs a while back doesn’t change the fact that their workers need to be paid, so the “get rid of Google’s funding and stop trying to look for other income too!!! Just focus on Firefox!!” is still the dumbest take on planet Earth.
But I’m not surprised, it’s a take from Lunduke, after all. A person who has also advised that people shouldn’t use Firefox because it’s “woke”.

The standard is actually:
Meanwhile in Mozillaland:
In other words, not only is Mozilla acting like every other dishonest, unethical, trashy corporation… They’re acting worse.
Re Lunduke bad: of course he is. He’s divorced from reality. But these are facts from Mozilla ledgers.
Re pay the employees: I agree. But I don’t see how you are okay with them laying off employees in order to not pay them, while raising the CEO salary.
