What's you opinion on volunteering then? Maybe people do it because it makes them feel good that they're doing something they want to.
And they're not getting paid to do it.
Why not do something you enjoy and get paid while you're at it?
It's honestly kinda perplexing.
Everyone keeps talking about taxing the rich but when someone offers to give a nonprofit we all love a billion dollars it's suddenly the worst thing on the planet.
If the deal were real of course
Honestly, they'd be stupid not to take it.
Imagine how much you could do with a billion. It'd perpetually sustain the organization, it'd allow them to hire translators and writers, resulting in better content for all of us.
Hell, I'd take it, and 99.9% of people on this planet would too.
Have you considered that some people might actually enjoy their jobs?
I'm not saying you do but that's fine, but you're pretty much saying that working has to be boring and undesirable, which it absolutely doesn't have to be.
They are also often subsidized with interest from people who don't pay their cards off
Yes, pure html pages are so much better and nicer to use!
Won't work, can't work.
There are companies which have insane revenues but tiny profits - let's say manufacturing, where you need to pay a shitton for materials and workers, just to get a bit in return.
There are also companies where the main source of income is selling people's time, say a consulting firm like McKinsey. Their income/revenue ratio is gonna be totally different from the first example.
I'm sure there are good ways to do it but this ain't one of them.
Hell yeah
It gives them a loot more than ad watchers though. Especially on longer videos (it's based on watch time)
