Do you view Wikipedia as Value for Value?
Based on the number of emails I receive from them and the pop ups on their page for donations, they seem to be on the brink of considering advertising as a source of revenue if they are unable to reach their donation goals.
I’m very curious to understand why you feel this isn’t working for Wikipedia now.
Why aren’t they doing better? Wikipedia clearly adds value to the world.
Is it because of payment friction like
VISA transaction fees and entering in card information?
Is it the UI because we can’t boost posts like Stacker?
Is it poor incentives because authors aren’t proportionately rewarded from donations for their writings and research?
How do you think about this?
