<p>So in my educational pursuits there are 3 necessary websites that I cannot live without. And I’m not alone here.</p>

<p>So I was wondering why these sites don’t cost money. They could increase profits IMO. So how much would you pay per year for the following sites?</p>

<p>Mine -</p>

<p>Wikipedia - I’d spend at least $100 a year. At least. My limit is probably more towards 200-300 bucks a year.</p>

<p>Sparknotes - $15 a year. Sparknotes is critical in your early High School years. But at this point I’m not really reading long or huge books. I’m reading short sections or short stories/plays/poems. I use sparknotes but it’s certainly the least important of these 3 sites to me.</p>

<p>EasyBib - $50 a year. This saves me so much time effort (and points). It’s unbelievable. Especially considering their new autocite features. I was shocked to know a good amount of kids don’t use this. It is the stuff of legends.</p>

<p>i would spend a ton of money for gmail</p>

<p>probably some for cc and usenet access</p>

<p>and that’s about all i do on the internets</p>

<p>I know that I wouldn’t spend money on CC…or at least not on hsl…I don’t want to be on hsl lol</p>

<p>I love wikipedia. I would pay good money for that. People used to, back when they bought encyclopedias. At least $100/yr.
If I had to pay for access to my email (yahoo) I would just switch to another service. I would be willing to pay a small amount for gmail, which I also have, since I really like google docs. Maybe $10-20.
I’d pay about $40/year for IMDb. It’s useful and I waste a ton of time on it.
I’d have to pay for jake and amir and xkcd. Probably whatever a newspaper subscription is, that’s what I’d pay.
I’d pay $40 for CC and my other forum each.</p>

<p>Hey now…Don’t be giving these sites (CC) any ideas…</p>

6

<p>Haha I would not pay to use CC.</p>

7

<p>^I probably wouldn’t either…</p>

<p>"I know that I wouldn’t spend money on CC…or at least not on hsl…I don’t want to be on hsl lol "</p>

<p>Yes you will pay. =)</p>

<p>The makers of these websites decided that educational pursuit outweighed the benefits of monetary income. Wikipedia especially follows in the sharing spirit of open-source software.</p>

<p>hulu is now charging money…</p>

11

<p>^No way, are they really?:(</p>

<p>If wikipedia started charging money, wouldn’t most of the user ship and therefore the user collaborated creation and editing of content leave?</p>
