I dunno but it’s cartoon better have a little tin cup and be begging - they are aggressive AF with trying to get donations. In general, but especially if you ever give them money.
They sorta have to be aggressive because it’s damn near impossible to get people to pay for online services nowadays. Everybody expects to get everything for free, but also nobody wants to see ads (for a good reason too, mind you.)
Yeah, I wish they would push a different model. I think the charity model is likely unsustainable long term. Quality contributions to the information should buy you some access and perhaps everyone gets access to some basic info on entries but more in depth data requires a micropayment perhaps.
what would wikipedia be?

Unfortunately that’d probably kill it ded; like I said, people are really loath to pay for online services.
