> Why would anyone keep high-quality, non spammy knowledge freely available? This is really the crux of the issue. To understand the original purpose of the internet, you have to look at it as a space devoid of any business model. It was primarily about sharing. Commercialization drove the current state of ad dollars and fake news. There was a time, long ago, when it was just about community. And because you cared about your community, each member was an arbiter of truth of sorts. We lost that connection. Facebook likes to call itself a community too, but the two are not very similar.
