I don't care about the recent page I will be coming back soon.
I overreacted over ONE person being unreasonable. And I'm not giving up, that person who got unjustly banned in 2012, I will bring him some justice even if I have to resort to making a YouTube video about it. His worst crime was to have a weird name but he followed all the rules. Blaze The Movie Fan (talk) 00:16, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
Why does wp still use ads in 2024?
Listen in this day and age ads are absolutely necessary to keep the site around. Running a big site is extremely expensive. And I fear the site might not be around for much longer if the owners don’t implement an ad system.
In 2003 sure plenty of ad free websites work. But now in 2024 unless you’re a billionaire running a huge site without ads is close to impossible. And I am still frustrated the website tried to force it on me to give donations instead of using ads.
Even most wikis use ad system nowadays. Legit I’m concerned convince the owners to implement it before it’s too late. Blaze The Movie Fan (talk) 02:09, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
- The {{helpme}} template is for questions on how to use Wikipedia, not for commentary on why Wikipedia works as it does. Your suggestion is a perennial proposal that has been consistently rejected; you can read more at is entry on the list of such proposals. Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 04:33, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
- Fine ban me then if I can’t even ask for legit help without being penalized for it fuck this site. Blaze The Movie Fan (talk) 08:08, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
- The requests for donations run by WMF on Wikipedia generate more than enough revenue to keep the servers running. WMF uses the excess for various ideas that may or may not be seen as productive.
- I guess that means that Wikipedia is not really ad-free at this point. But at least the ads are tied to the service in a way that is not likely to cause revenue concerns to affect content or editorial concerns.
- Using {{help}} templates to engage in conversations like this one is just one more way you seem to be out-of-step. Please spend more time on improving the project, in whatever ways you are able. — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 04:38, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
- This is why I am considering leaving for good and want my entire revision history gone. If I can’t even ask for legit advice without getting into trouble this site isn’t worth it. I don’t care if you ban me. I’m here to read not to edit. Blaze The Movie Fan (talk) 08:11, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
