@primalmotion @Gargron Don't be surprised if they first add ads and trackers, then refuse to load the toplevel page if JS is blocked, then finally refuse to load it if ads fail to load or trackers fail.

Just imagine the money this CEO could make with real-time bidding for Wikipedia's users by making them the product.

I agree that all donations to Wikipedia should be ended until this CEO and all of their buddies step down, and if necessary the entire project should be forked away. YES, this will be difficult, and YES it will be hard to keep it from splintering, but Libreoffice has shown that a single main community supported fork of a project can get most of the userbase to unite around it.

I'll take the "incomplete communist wiki" over the "complete enshittified wiki" any day, just as I choose Mastodon and Noblogs over Facebook and Instagram.
