Looks like Taylan has made his decision: he intends to put ads on bg3.wiki

    Just use an ad blocker? I’ve used that wiki loads and honestly can’t blame the guy for wanting to try and make a bit of money for his and other people’s time and effort.

    That said maybe patreon or something would have been a better idea.

          Not a huge one.

          But more importantly, he thinks installing open source updates on a community project with community data constitutes a full time job. His guess is that it will generate “significantly higher” than 15k per month and he wants a big chunk of that.

      Wouldn’t pay as much.

      It sounds insane to me when he says maintaining a wiki for a video game, is a full-time job…

          It’s a wiki. With literally over 100 people who have done a large number of edits. He’s not doing anywhere near all the work of documenting the game.

              It’s not anything in the neighborhood of a full time job. He absolutely does not deserve to make a living on it.

              And when those 100+ users contributed explicitly under a license dictating it not be for commercial use, he doesn’t deserve to earn a penny more than his expenses.
