WT: Social Jimmy Wales' social network on Wikipedia

Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales has launched a new social το οποίο αποσκοπεί να γίνει μέχρι σήμερα το Facebook και το .Το νέο κοινωνικό δίκτυο ονομάζεται WT:, και ο Wales αναφέρει ότι μέχρι τις 6 Νοεμβρίου είχε 25.000 μέλη στις 6 Νοεμβρίου.

Today it must have about 80.000 members, who seem excited about the idea of ​​a social network that fakes fake news.

The site does not use the Facebook sponsored model , but has adopted a subscription model like that used by Netflix and Spotify.

It will cost $12,99 per month or $100 per year in the US, or €12 per month or €90 per year in Europe. However, there are still quite a few questions about it of WT:Social. For example: Will it be worth paying the subscription?

The social network is a reboot of WikiTribune, which started in 2017 as ανταλλαγής ειδήσεων, αλλά δεν προχώρησε και ο Wales κατέληξε να απολύσει αρκετούς δημοσιογράφους που είχε προσλάβει. Το WikiTribune ξεκίνησε από μια εκστρατεία .

Wales spoke to them Times για το νέο and about how fragile the new site proposal is. But according to Wales:

The business model of social media companies is problematic. It turns out that the huge winner is the low quality content.

Wales hopes that WT: Social can attract 50 million or even half a billion users as an example of its success Netflix and Spotify to attract people who are willing to pay for "meaningful" content.

The registration is , but WT:Social has established a waiting list. Of course, those who pay can bypass it. So far, just 200 people have paid to skip the waiting list.

Wales does not expect the new social network to be profitable, but believes it can be viable with minimal staff.

Why

Instead of the news model used by WikiTribune, WT: Social aims to become a self-sustaining community consisting of many small, specialized topics.

Instead of using coordinators to control them fake news like Facebook, Wales' social network will be based on users themselves, who will be able to edit and delete posts they deem incomplete or unreliable.
