    The kind of people you find on Mastodon following Firefox news are not the same as the average person. They are a bubble.

    A few thousand people paying $5 per year is not enough to replace hundreds of millions.

      A few thousand people paying $5 per year is not enough to replace hundreds of millions.

      …people or dollars? ‘Cos i don’t think “hundreds of millions” of people are chippin’ in, it’s Google that’s financing “hundreds of millions” of dollars…

      But yeah, that target audience is a bubble, normies don’t care.

        Dollars.

        Google is giving hundreds of millions because they fear regulators getting involved.

        A handful of people who follow Mozilla on Mastodon saying they’re willing to pay up to a meagre $5 per year won’t do anything.
