minus-square@justastrangerlink15•11 months agoHave you seen how much more desperate Wikipedia gets every time they need to beg for donations?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink3•edit-211 months agoThey dont degrade the service until you pay. They dont lock features behind a paywall, they dont have ads. They beg you to pay, they dont extort you. Why does it matter that they seem desperate?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink5•11 months agoWould YOU want to feel that desperation if you were the creator wondering if you could make rent next month?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•11 months agoIn Wikipedias case at least, the desperation is 100% marketing bluster and has been for at least a decade. Wikipedia is VERY well funded.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink3•11 months agoThat’s marketing BS. Wikipedia is very well funded and in fact they consistently blow way past their fundraising goals
