How much?

discuss

order

Why do you want to know? I can't imagine how knowing that answer is going to make anything better for anyone here. Are you a mod of a similar service and need something to negotiate with? Even as a negotiating datapoint, it's only valuable if YC would hire you to moderate (which I doubt) and you can use that as leverage.

If it was public, then random users might demand more of dang, thinking that his salary justifies it.

Keeping salaries public in an industry lets you use them as a negotiating datapoint anywhere in that industry.

Not too related to the discussion, but I'm really hoping Twitch moderators start asking for a paycheck once their streamer's realtime chat reaches a certain size, as they have to stay quick and attentive for hours straight. But sadly, they often start when the streamer is smaller and work for them on their own dime and remain that way.

It's definitely none of your business, but as someone who does similar work, I'd guess in the territory of $100k–150k. (That's not how much I get paid, but I work at a much smaller and less established org.)

I mean hopefully he's paid well? Making salary a private issue only hurts people in my opinion.

Yes, but your approach is wildly unhelpful. Downvote it and move on.

“Oh no! Someone asked something on the Internet that I consider inappropriate!”

You know there are communities/societies where people openly discuss their salary, right?
