    Remember. Everyone there gets paid. They work hard. So they need pay in proportion to the amount they work. Plus the cost of servers (They can be $10,000 EACH) And all other things. You don’t know everything they need to pay for.

    It’s like how teenagers know their parents earn an amount of money, and don’t understand how much of that money is put into bills and such.
