Would you then also not contribute to Reddit? You are also contributing content to their website that they then use to serve other people ads. There is also Reddit Gold that you can buy to unlock some perks.
The idea is the same for this website. Although we don't want to serve other people ads as we think there are better business models than that.
- gitgud 9y agoReddit (and others eg; Stackoverflow) has a reputation system. Basically, the incentive for contribution on those websites is to earn points of some kind. The idea may be the same, but I don't see any point system mentioned for contributors here. So why contribute?
- nikivi 9y agoWe will have a reputation system for users in the future. As to why you may want to contribute. If you use the website and you find value in it, you can always make it better not only for yourself but for others. Only here, not only can you add links and resources but you can also directly add features and new things as the entire code base is Open Source and thus anyone can edit/fork and make what they want with it for all other people to enjoy.
