| Jun 25, 2019 at 20:02 | comment | added | somebody | There was quite a debate on Wikipedias protocol/polic(y|ies). Many feeling that it was just-plain-wrong for Wikipedia to profit so well off the backs of it's contributors. I won't cite anything here, because it 1) it may skew objectivity, and 2) this area is for comments. In any case other' chosen model(s) are not the only models available. Maybe StackExchange could use a unique model. Maybe poll it's users/contributors for thoughts on the matter in a Post(ing)/Poll of it's own? | |
| Jun 25, 2019 at 13:54 | comment | added | qwr | The difference is that Wikipedia started as and still is a non-profit, while Stack Exchange (at least in recent years) has always been concerned about investors and making money while not scaring away too many actual contributors. | |
| Jun 25, 2019 at 8:45 | comment | added | somebody | As I attempted to allude in my statement. The (expert/quality) answers are the largest value. Why not leverage that? IOW why are those of whom provide quality replies to questions raised on StackExchange punished for doing so? | |
| Jun 24, 2019 at 18:58 | comment | added | WBT | @LShaver It is explicitly stated that "reduced ad privileges don't exist right now for the network" - that's only on certain sites. Developing it out does not seem to be a priority. | |
| Jun 24, 2019 at 18:36 | comment | added | WBT | @RudolfOlah This answer goes into more detail on the Wikipedia analogy. I'm not a fan of this new answer because it doesn't really answer the question or add anything that the prior 24 answers didn't already cover. | |
| Jun 24, 2019 at 17:42 | comment | added | LShaver | While not explicitly stated, I believe the reduced ads privilege for users with 200+ rep will apply. | |

| Jun 24, 2019 at 16:18 | comment | added | user170579 | I mentioned it in another comment; they should just ask for donations and do fundraising drives like Wikipedia does. Seems to work for them and doesn't mess up the site with ads. | |
