:::You are simultaneously saying you undervalue your work while suggesting you make money off the work of others (which is what a community wiki is all about). This is exactly why people hated Fextralife and loved this placen it felt like an actual proper place, by the people for the people. | :::You are simultaneously saying you undervalue your work while suggesting you make money off the work of others (which is what a community wiki is all about).

:::it starts at ads first, but what then? What happens after that, with no notice, no polls anything? We have no guarentee it stops there. You want your full time job to consist of this wiki, and the 90% content of volunteer contributors (likely an exaggeration, but I doubt by much. Most of it is still community volunteer work) | :::it starts at ads first, but what then? What happens after that, with no notice, no polls anything? We have no guarentee it stops there.

:::You haven't done much to convince me that this choice wasn't made out of greed. Using your logic, I can claim that I should be paid each time someone looks at a page I had initially created, even if the bulk of the current iteration is provided by other people. That is essentially what you are trying to tell me you are doing, which I, and seemingly several other people, do not agree with.

:::I think the most important part here is broken trust. The issue of broken promises, like you have done here, is a loss of trust. Right now, it's ads. Unintrusive, but ads nonetheless. But what then? Intrusive ads? Autoplaying ads? An eventual devolvement into the same state as Fandom and Fextralife? You can tell us all the time that this won't happen, but we can no longer trust you when you say this is where it'll end. That's what this is about; user trust. Anyone who's been here long enough to contribute meaningfully have been directly betrayed by this new development, as it feels like a bait and switch, and we no longer have any idea if it'll be the first. It's not that we don't want to trust you. We literally can't. [[User:Schism|Schism]] ([[User talk:Schism|talk]]) 16:58, 29 July 2024 (CEST) | |||
