> reeks of sour grapes that a mediocre employee at one of these places makes 3-20x what anyone makes (as a rank and file employee) anywhere else

This is not an argument and moreover not even true: there are companies that pay well and don’t collect reams of data on their users.

What argument? What possible position could "if you can't configure a VPN, you're probably mediocre" be an argument for?

Like I said: it’s not an argument, it’s an attack. Plus I’m sure that there’d be many people here able to counter your claim regardless of the compensation number you drop.
