They should do a "non free wikipedia week": once year for 1 week place a paywall that allows you to pay/donate whatever amount via PayPal, card, crypto or whatever other payment options, so that you can read the articles during that week.
That way everyone will learn its value to them and they could collect some $$$
- bashmack 5y agoWikipedia wouldn't do that for two reasons. One, it would force a lot of people to spend a few seconds thinking about what Wikipedia is and is not. And two, it might prompt Google or Amazon or whoever to do what they have always been legally allowed to do, and copy the entire Wikipedia database and host it themselves.
