Most websites start out like wikipedia and then they feel the constant pressure to expand and now they have a mountain of expenses to cover so they tarnish the website in an effort to squeeze every last $ out of the user. I like how wikipedia has stuck to its original goal and kept a lean budget while delivering one of the most used websites on the internet.

- segfaultbuserr 7y agoYes, it's my worry too. The Wikimedia Foundation kept expanding, and it may be unsustainable.
- Polylactic_acid 7y agoLean budget compared to all of the other websites at their size.
