Was the $100K mentioned in this article the total amount Facebook gave Snopes? Because that's, like, one new-grad signing bonus.

For a particularly high-demand technical engineering position maybe. For other things… well, Facebook pays folks in the Philippines something like $2/hour to get PTSD while screening posts for the worst content the worst humans are able to generate (beheadings for example). Where would you expect fact-checking to fit in?
