Money isn't the only possible incentive. And any system not involving slave labor, in which work actually gets done, obviously includes incentives sufficient to get the people involved to do the work. (Well, I guess slave labor does too, if you consider "keeping from getting whipped to death" an incentive.) Are you claiming that, due to declining the use of paid staff, Wikipedia will end up forced into acquiring slaves to do its work?
