Without stacks of money, there will be no editors or readers. Without the generous donations of Jimbo and Bomis (who made their money off of - get this - advertising), there would be no Wikipedia.
There wouldn't be a Wikipedia without editors either.
I can't for the life of me understand why people "a bunch of editors and readers" would leave over something like this. I also don't think it'd be a bad thing to get rid of the people who think this way.
Yes, and for the life of me I can't understand why you don't have a successful fork and community. Advertising - check, Not afraid to get rid of whiny editors - check
