Sounds like the kind of work that might pay for a few #40k kitchens
Some of those individuals are making bank. That is true.
But most of the people in those chat rooms are there for the shits and giggles, they're just mates with those making bank, or flat mates, etc.
What's unsaid in this is that those making bank couldn't actually do so without the help of all the people in their different networks and groups who all contribute to what they can achieve.
The majority are along for the ride because it's a thrill... when do skilled people truly get to have fun and flex those skills rather than just hoard them for a defcon talk?
It's also musical chairs... a war starts, but perhaps you were at Google and can't work on this stuff without risking your job. Or a war starts and you're a freelancer open to a contract with a shady state sponsored company. Or a war starts and you're bumming around unconnected to the opportunity. The secret IRC channels are where everyone comes together and has fun anyway, but the ones lucky enough to be in the right chair when the music stopped are the ones who make bank. The rest just had a blast and got the satisfaction and kudos of being involved.
