you’re a nice guy and better than me..i use wikipedia like everyday and still haven’t donated shyt, probs been prompted to donate over 500 times
I just want to put my money in what I value, and I’d like to be remembered as someone that valued encyclopaedic knowledge about the world. It isn’t perfect but it’s a decent springboard and, like I said, I use it enough.

That's fine, but at the end of the day, they are creators, we are consumers. We may feel we shouldn't have to pay for the privilege of having information at our fingertips in an instant, and they aren't obligated to provide it for free. It's that simple. Quid pro quo. And if you think this type of mentality where we feel we don't have to pay extra for any of this shyt( not only that, but many of us find the idea laughable) has nothing to do with net neutrality you are delusional, sorry.

I explicitly said they're not obligated to provide it for free, what are you rambling about?:what:

Wiki charging for site access, which is their prerogative, has nothing to do with net neutrality.

The reprehension people feel towards being asked to pay more for what they are consuming and enjoying for little to no cost is related to net neutrality, maybe not literally, but that type of entitled thinking is absolutely applicable to the overall debate. In Wiki's case they are just asking every now and then and people are laughing at the very idea. All I'm saying is you can laugh now, but don't cry when that attitude comes back to bite you in the ass.

I have a few times, 5 bucks here and there, probably only around 40 bucks worth.

You guys saying no and laughing at the idea are the reason they want to end net neutrality. Y'all think you just deserve all this shyt. You don't. Not telling y'all to donate, but don't get surprised when the fun ends.

I gave them $3 once. It's a free resource that has changed the internet forever. Google throws 2 million websites at you in a given search; Wiki can give you a detailed breakdown of any subject matter in seconds. It's excellent.

If they didn't need the funding they wouldn't ask.
