Not Just Money

For awhile now, I’ve been talking about the causes of the low quality of Information on the Internet. The first issue that I’ve brought up was that the content producers are not getting enough compensation for their effort. Nevertheless, from time to time, we still encounter relatively decent content, which means that my argument is not yet complete. To make it whole, I will deal with an incentive, other than monetary, that is a source of most information available today online and at the same time is a holdback to its progress. The incentive I will be talking about is philanthropy. Before exploring its effect on the Internet, I will refer to it in a general manner first.
