Well at least Wikipedia doesn't pester you with tons of ads that sometimes make it hard to even find the content (except for the occasional donation banner, but that's a minor annoyance compared to what Fandom does).
- thaumasiotes 24d ago> except for the occasional donation banner, but that's a minor annoyance compared to what Fandom does Well, I guess that's true. It's worth noting, though, that wikipedia's donation demands cover more than the entire screen on a phone.
- account42 24d agoIt's also worth noting that both Wikipedia and Fandom were co-founded by Jimmy Wales.
- thaumasiotes 24d agoWell... why? Is he involved with either of them now? Is there a shared persisting influence of some kind?
- mitxela 23d agoFandom used to be Wikia and it was just a thing that hosted wikis. Its story is a bit like Sourceforge's.
- thaumasiotes 23d agoOk, but... what is it that we're taking note of?
- pndy 23d agoThere were memes ridiculing Wales and all that annual effort regarding supporting Wikipedia - probably that did the job
- mitxela 23d agoUm, have you seen the current Wikipedia donation drive? It's almost as bad as Fandom, and I'm refusing to donate because WP:CANCER.
