Exactly if you're disrupting existing power structures either by "overpaying" employees (see recent PSG football leaks) or unfairly cutting costs (Uber/Taxis or Airbnb/Hotels), you're going to make enemies of a lot of angry people.

I'm not saying Samasource does not profit from this situation, they clearly do, but Silicon Valley taught me that money spent paying developers through the nose ends up mainly in the landlord's pocket.
