> Useless signaling.
Their contribution to Wikimedia sends a positive signal to potential customers that is very possibly less useless than the more typical form of corporate signalling: advertising.
Do you think that advertising is also useless signalling?
- TomMarius 8y agoI think advertising reaches way more people and generates income, thus isn't useless.
- andrepd 8y agoUseless from the point of view of the recipient. I believe GP meant "useless" as in "PR stunt"; certainly not useless for their public perception, unfortunately.
- LeifCarrotson 8y agoUseless for Wikipedia readers, not for the donor nor for the Wikimedia foundation members who will spend the money.
