Talk:Wikimedia Foundation Board noticeboard/November 2017 - Statement endorsing future resourcing and direction of the organization

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

The missing cost[edit]

To "increase revenue" is meaningless if you don't measure all the costs. The "net revenue" should consider hidden costs and externalities, such as alienating users or discouraging usage of Wikimedia projects by means of fear-mongering, user shaming or invasive fundraising. Talk:Fundraising has plenty of unaddressed issues, so it's clear that the Wikimedia Foundation is still unable to assess the effects of what it does. Nemo 19:22, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
