Harvard is also exceptionally greedy to charge tuition, but also it wouldn’t be fair for legacy admits to get the brand and network without paying what is peanuts to most of those families. LLM trainers need to pay for Wikipedia to help balance the information economy. If Google had to pay something substantial versus just lifting the content into their own “smart” results, then other sites would follow and wouldn’t have to rely on crappy SEO tricks. Another perspective is that LLM trainers have largely been so disrespectful of IP / copyrights from their own greed that the content creators need to fight back with greed of their own. If the WM approach to media loses out to corporate and/or state control, it could e.g. make the Western internet much more like state-owned China. Not entirely convincing arguments but it’s probably going too far to call WMF too greedy.
