    He’s also not a billionaire. Him and Jimmy Wales are true heroes of our time. Their work has shaped the modern world yet their fortunes are nowhere near even a single billion. It seems almost absurd and dumb on their part that they didn’t even make 1 billion in decades given their impact, but turns out that’s just the normal rate of accumulation when you don’t just sell out or steal the work of others.

        Don’t know what his deal is and why he acted as such but the page is still there as is and it helped inform likely hundereds of thousands of people. Don’t know if he had a change of heart but he created something larger than himself so that is fine. Just telling this so that people don’t misdirect their anger against wikipedia.

        Considering his lack of public statements and actual support for Israel and zionism I’d argue your wrong.

        Conservatively moderating a shit show that is Israeli subject matter is one thing (and I’ve been banned from reddit for pointing out how bat shit insane zionism is) but actively supporting the regime is a completely different thing.
