What is a possible business model for Wikipedia? Assume that they have a team of superstar engineers who can build any iterative feature immediately. So given development is not a blocker, how can they make money instead of relying on donations?

Recurring fees to publish, surface, and preserve misinformation. Lie to me, but pay a premium first.

Information is paid per paragraph or per sentence or per alphabet or per word. The more you pay the more information will be unlocled.

They shouldn't make money. Should be a public good.

Permissioned nft marketplace of dated pages? Trading fees on the platform from it while maintaining the up to date wiki? Just a thought off the top of my head. Wen wiki NFTs?

History is written by those in control. Adding a price to preserving history risks removing all social pressures to get it right. Donations cover costs while preserving the culture.

What’s wrong with non-profit funded by donation? Why do they need a revenue model?

Why not release a cryptocurrency? Issuing tokens over time could allow the brand to simply become a tokenized memecoin that would fund the operation of the enterprise without diminishing the benefits with ads (🤮) or gates (would kill the benefit of the platform). Could airdrop at first then incentivize edit mode

Allowing others to build on top of all the content Wikipedia sits on-> some type of fee/API model. We’re building Fabric-> Wikipedia + GitHub for Web3. So thinking similarly. Ideally, an ad free environment. So, more around information graphs, search, minting/forming, and protocol fees.
