I dunno but it’s cartoon better have a little tin cup and be begging - they are aggressive AF with trying to get donations. In general, but especially if you ever give them money.
They sorta have to be aggressive because it’s damn near impossible to get people to pay for online services nowadays. Everybody expects to get everything for free, but also nobody wants to see ads (for a good reason too, mind you.)
Yeah, I wish they would push a different model. I think the charity model is likely unsustainable long term. Quality contributions to the information should buy you some access and perhaps everyone gets access to some basic info on entries but more in depth data requires a micropayment perhaps.
It would get infested with bots writing articles and other bots upvoting the quality status. The people with resources to do that wouldn’t have any interest in telling the truth.
what would wikipedia be?

Unfortunately that’d probably kill it ded; like I said, people are really loath to pay for online services.
Kagi been doing well. I think tides are shifting
PAYWALL WIKIPEDIA?!
How dare you sir!
They take heat for fundraising like they’re on the edge although they have full coffers. Hopefully it’s sustainable!
