- denton-scratch 4y agoFor what it's worth, I enjoy editing WP. I'd enjoy it less if I were paid. I'd love to be able to edit some of the crap that the MSM pump out.
- i_like_apis 4y agoYou're implying there is something unfair going on with respect to not compensating editors. I absolutely disagree. The model is that anyone can edit, and they do so out of the love of knowledge and common wealth. One of the strongest aspects of Wikipedia is that authors are not on anyone's payroll. (Though editing can be a competitive endeavor with monied interests occasionally involved). All the editors of Wikipedia couldn't possibly be compensated, and no one expects that anyway.
