I think i remember a post not to far back with a similar topic. Not sure if it was from the developer of the hooverzoom extension itself, but it definitly referenced some offers they collected.

edit: just noticed, that the article also references the offers (ref. https://github.com/extesy/hoverzoom/discussions/670 )

I love the offer of almost $15k to then say they can bargain if the users are active, like if it's worth that much without active users then that's definitely shady.
