维基百科也要求募捐了

jgslinjin

Dear Readers:
We’ll get right to it: This week we ask you to help Wikipedia. To protect our independence, we'll never run ads. We survive on donations averaging about $15. Only a tiny portion of our readers give. Now is the time we ask. If everyone reading this right now gave $3, our fundraiser would be done within an hour. That's right, the price of a cup of coffee is all we need. If Wikipedia is useful to you, please take one minute to keep it online and ad-free. We’re a small non-profit with costs of a top website: servers, staff and programs. We serve millions of readers, but we run on a fraction of what other top sites spend. Wikipedia is something special. It is like a public library or a museum where we can all go to learn. Wikipedia is written by a community of volunteers with a passion for sharing the world’s knowledge. Please help us end the fundraiser and get back to improving Wikipedia. Thank you.

这让我想起以前一个内陆的超清电影论坛，刚开始它也不挂广告，网站费用都是靠会员募捐，后来快活不下去了。那个网站首先也是挂出了募捐通知，可惜效果不好，后来通过投票通过了引进广告，但只出现在网站的顶页和底页。论坛广告收益不够时还号召会员点广告（那个广告好像时按点击量付费的），效果比募捐好多了，论坛也一直正常，当然募捐的渠道一直开放着，有时站长甚至公布网站的财务。

很多土豪有闲钱没地方花就糟蹋，稍微有点良心的就盲目地瞎捐钱。要说真正最该捐的，就是wiki了。
给wiki捐钱，不仅直接有利于人类发展，把捐款信息公布出去，人家也会觉得这人是有品位、有见识、有思想的。

wiki某种程度上就像是贫苦的读书人
