The organization is willing to pay 123% of the bounty. So from the contributor pov algora's fee is 20/123~=16.2% still high IMHO.

They're willing to pay that amount for the bounty + managing and paying out bounties.

If they weren't paying Algora to do it, they'd be paying their own staff to do it. Either way, the extra percentage wouldn't be part of the bounty.

I'd gladly pay 23% just to not have to worry about the logistics of bounty payments.

But if I get a reward for 100 dollars and the company pays 123 dollars which you may not see in your statement then what's the problem?
