Full points for transparency, I guess?

If anyone has the time, I'd love to hear more about what people use pinterest for, because I don't actually have any idea what it's for but I know it's popular. I think most people in my bubble (tech) just have it blocked from their search results.

That's all untrue or misrepresentation. There aren't that many executives and while money does get misused, that's not where it's going - instead some of it is going to grants and other programs that aren't very important to the mission. However, quite a lot of donations go to very important projects, such as lawyers to keep editors in repressive countries out of jail, programmers to keep the website going, etc etc.

"2%" is a misrepresentation because programmer and operations salaries are a lot more than that and they're equally important to keeping the lights on. If I own and operate a server for a website, then clearly my salary is part of what it takes to run the website even if it's not included in "hosting".

"Renumeration" is a red herring as paying contributors is obviously a non-starter.

Who would be doing the sticking, and why would they do it? There's plenty of demand for dense, mixed-use housing - I don't think anyone's going to be made to move in.
