> a pretty massive sum of money

I feel like the perception of money is distorted in tech circles. To me $10,000 is a pretty massive sum of money. For most people $250,000 represents a life-changing amount of money.

This sentence was referring to the $50,000 payment that Slack demanded in the next few days.

Even $50,000/yr would be way too much for a chat service nevermind to just stave them off for a week.

I agree, my point was that you and the author of the post seem to be in agreement. I don’t think they’re being flippant about the amount.
