I'd be willing to say this is causation. Wikipedia is one of the few places on the Internet where there isn't an a absolutely desperate end goal to keep people staring at it all day and all night to make 0.006 cents on ad revenue. So the content can actually be useful instead of drowned out in SEO and ads.

And yet so successful at it :)

So much this. One thing I regularly think about is that there are many popular websites that could be sustainable with a smaller headcount, but they took VC and need to eat the world.

~0% interest was a mistake.

Should we expect more useful websites in the next 10 years? Should we expect them to rot and need replacement in the decade after that? Should the Fed add "make the Internet a nice place" as a fourth mission?
