And most of those wikis are now on Wikia, sorry, "Fandom", which runs some of the most aggressive ads I've seen. The flippant response is to strawman then as evil and greedy, but the less satisfying reality is that web hosting can actually get quite expensive for popular sites, especially with media. And there's the additional cost of defending against abuse, of the DDoS, spambot, or malicious human types
- johnnyanmac 3y agoYeah, if the users don't care enough to move to ad-free sort of content, there's not much you can do as a passive viewer. Fortunately, Wikis are in theory easy to migrate should such a motivated user comes along. That said, these days more and more guides and tribal knowledge is stored in discord servers. I don't know if that's better or worse. At least there's no ads.
