Not sure why it's always a binary: either give us $1M or we shut down.

Vast majority of products and services can continue on or near zero, with slow or zero velocity.

Really, you can't fire half the team if you have to and keep operating?

1.75M MAU requires very small infrastructure.

Yeah, there is no way they need $1M for the servers, come on...

Paid is desirable. Overpaid, not so much.

$150k is overpaid for a senior engineer?

Depends on what "senior" means. Every company has its own definition.

Maybe it's a binary choice for the people who have to maintain it?

You can scale down money.

But you can't scale down commitment arbitrarily.
