They shouldn't pay less than market. But they shouldn't locate themselves in the most expensive market that exists.

That's not what I got from the article or even the headline. It's talking about why they are using "tearful-sounding messages like: “This Thursday Wikipedia really needs you. This is the 10th appeal we’ve shown you. 98% of our readers don’t give; they look the other way … We ask you, humbly, don’t scroll away.”"

"really needs you"? Really? That too in India during COVID? With millions in the bank and salaries of everyone over $130k?

So is the notion that non-profit should pay their execs millions.

Whose getting paid millions? https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_salarie...

A company of the size, stature, and importance of Wikimedia probably should. Currently they pay them what a middle manager would make in FAANG.
