200,000 recordings uploaded.
no ads. no growth hacking. no IPO. no exit strategy. just quality content and worldwide cooperation.
- Mithaldu 12y ago> just quality content and worldwide cooperation. And cash from the dutch government via the Naturalis museum. And content contributed largely by volunteers. It's a great project and website, but i think comparing it to a commercial company is very pointless.
- laurentoget 12y agounless the whole point is to show there is an alternative to the commercial web, and it is not only wikipedia.
- iaw 12y agoCould you describe the alternative? Are you contending that the internet should be wholly funded by governments? I'm confused.
- laurentoget 12y agoI meant this only as an example of a website which provides and creates rich information without participating in the commercial ad-funded system. Some funds do come from the dutch government but the content is provided by volunteers. If I had a solution to generalize this I would be busy implementing it.
