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 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.
Unfortunately that’d probably kill it ded; like I said, people are really loath to pay for online services.
Kagi been doing well. I think tides are shifting
It would get infested with bots writing articles and other bots upvoting the quality status. The people with resources to do that wouldn’t have nay interest in telling the truth.
PAYWALL WIKIPEDIA?!
How dare you sir!
They take heat for fundraising like they’re on the edge although they have full coffers. Hopefully it’s sustainable!

Urban Dictionary has helped me with so many words over the years.
now that Wiktionary has the definition of hot carl, urban dictionary is redundant 🙈
Possibly misapplied from hot carl “a cheap red wine enema, usually involving Carlo Rossi Merlot”.

Maybe you’ve heard of boofing? There’s a supreme court justice who I hear was a big fan in college…
It was about to be the sickest rap single in a decade.
“Previously Known As Sweary Mary’s Dictionary Of Filth”, lul
Urban dictionary only works when the people using the terms go there to define them and upvoted the definitions.
And young people nowadays don’t do anything online if it isn’t an app.
The iPad baby generation is shockingly technically useless
I keep seeing stupid, seemingly very person-specific definitions get the votes, stuff like “John: a really sexy, clever boy that all the girls want to be with”
Tbf I thought urban dictionary had an app
