>>107533265>created by peoplethat's my problem with wiki. too many inaccuracies and opinions.
>>107533265Wikipedia has made enough money in donations to run for 100 years. They're just scamming people at this point
>>107533298Buy an ad, Lunjewke
>>107533265I'm never donating to Fickipedia ever againConservapedia dude was right
>>107533353>The fact that "Lunduke" is the only Tech Journalist who tells the truth and does real journalism... is directly influenced by the fact that Lunduke is Jewish.they're all like this huh? every. single. time.

>>107533265>2%oy vey
>you deserve an explanation>doesn't explain what it means if they don't reach the goal
>>107533631>lundukike>tells the truthlol. lmao even.
>>107533265Donating to wikimedia foundation is literally just pissing your money away.
>>107533265I'm surprised they have the balls to do this after Grokipedia.
>>107533265The only good thing about (((wikimedia))) is that since they are a registered non-profit they have to disclose exactly where their money goes. In 2024 they spent $178million in total.Only 3 million (1.7%) of that was spent on internet hosting.Fun fact: they _gave away_ 27 million in 2024 in the form of awards and grants!! Bonus points for whoever digs into the lucky recipients of that grant money.
>>107533265wikipedia is an antisemitic garbage site that should have been defunded and removed years ago
>>107533265You're tempted to give money to a site that folded to propaganda instead of being a bastion of absolute truth? Also fire all the fucks getting bonuses.
>>107533265Every single source on wikipedia is from news media or fictional books.I'm actually yet to come across a source that's academic.
>>107533265I always close that notification on my phone by clicking the "collapse" button hoping that by ignoring their request for money that wikipedia itself will soon collapse.Hasn't worked yet but I remain hopeful.
>https://online.stanford.edu/courses/cs221-artificial-intelligence-principles-and-techniquesA dude who worked at Meta was giving lectures here, and he once said something like Meta and several AI companies used sites like Wikipedia to collect data. Dude, Wikipedia has support from companies like Google, Meta, and universities all over the world, wtf?
>>107533265People... the "writers" are practically bots, censoring for gov and thinning articles for search engine and AI-prompts.How greedy can one be...
The Wikipedia experiment is pretty much dead, there are only 400 active admins left and only 34 stewards who revert most controversial edits leaving the site boring as mud. Grokipedia is already automating the search for references in articles so curating them is obsolete, and for people complaining about "Nazi" articles in Grokipedia other companies are free to make an AI encyclopedia to their point of view.No one reads paper Britannica's or Encarta cds apart from nostalgia, soon Wikipedia too will go into archive mode as automatically generated articles get more accurate and take over and don't have to have constant debates about notability.I've spent over 20 years in the Wikipedia community, but I already see the end, just like horse breeders did when cars got cheap. Wikimedia should just put all their donations into their endowment and let the hosting costs be covered by the interest and disband the rest of the organization.This will probably be my last comment about Wikipedia, as I have totally lost interest in it.
Have lower goals, loser
>>107534213Directly linking some academic paper is literally against Wikipedia rule.No primary sources.
Not playing around anymore, give me your fucking money.
Crazy how everything there is a lie and it has clearly been AI-edited.
>>107534061Wikimedia Foundation spent fuckton of money for diversity and DEI garbage while they spent smaller on hostingWhile they ban innocent users on Wikipedia for vandalism despite they edit this article to be correct and truthful
>>107533581Uncyclopedia was great and truthful
>>10753326525 years of shit
grokipedia 0.2 is already better, and I say this as an ex-wiki sysop. wiki went so far left in 2020 it's insane. and half the citations are completely fabricated or broken.
>>107533265You've never donatedIts never gone downChill out
>>107533265I only use grokpedia now
>>107533265I would have if I was not a poorfag.It's still a very reliable source of information as long as you don't touch politics, history, culture, philosophy, religion, social studies etc.
>>107534091To be fair you can't just use internet hosting by itself you fucking retards keep doing this. What do you think professional service expenses covers hmm?What you think they serve files from their assholes straight to the internet?I'm not saying they aren't faggots they are but you're being a dishonest rat for NO FUCKING REASON.
>>107538204>>107538306pay up AIniggers
>>107533265>it's not here to push a point of viewlol okay
>>107538530You are a dishonest kike.>professional service expensesIs a category that is mostly related to legal fees and external consulting.As a fun bonus, you can try to explain away or justify why they needed to budget 51.7million USD for equity safety and inclusion. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Annual_Plan/2023-2024/Finances
>>107538530>What you think they serve files from their assholes straight to the internetThat is literally what the "internet hosting" category represents. You realize that wikipedia basically serves only text right?
