Wikipedia at 25 grapples with new challenges arising from generative AI

Wikipedia celebrated its 25th birthday this month. Given the centrality of Wikipedia to so much activity online, it is hard to remember (or to imagine, for those who are younger) a time without Wikipedia. The latest statistics are impressive:

Wikipedia is viewed nearly 15 billion times every month.

Wikipedia contains over 65 million articles across more than 300 languages.

Wikipedia is […]

Walled Culture the book, three years on

Walled Culture the book (free digital versions available) was launched just over three years ago. A few weeks afterwards, I talked with journalist and editor Maria Bustillos about the book and its background, as part of the Internet Archive’s Book Talk series. That interview has just been added to the Future Knowledge Podcast series in a shortened form, so this seems like a good moment to […]

How GenAI is taking true fans activity – and creativity – to the next level

Walled Culture has written a number of times about the true fans approach – the idea that creators can be supported directly and effectively by the people who love their work. As Walled Culture the book explains (available as a free ebook), one of the earliest and best expositions of the concept came from Kevin Kelly, former Executive Editor at Wired magazine, in an essay he wrote originally […]

Fans of open access, unite: you have nothing to lose but your chained libraries

When books were rare and extremely expensive, they were often chained to the bookcase to prevent people walking off with them, in what were known as “chained libraries”. Copyright serves a similar purpose today, even though, thanks to the miracle of perfect, zero-cost digital copies, it is possible simultaneously to take an ebook home and yet leave the original behind. For a quarter of a […]

True fans, super fans, core fans: an alternative way to fund creators gains wide industry support

Walled Culture the book (free digital versions available) concluded with a look at “true fans”, an alternative way of funding creators that avoids the main problems of the current copyright system. The approach is based on nurturing the connection between artists and their most dedicated fans, allowing the former to generate extra revenue by providing the latter with tailored offers. When […]

2/2 - 🧵 - Privacy settings.

By clicking on the icon next to the episode, you can join them at the exact same time and co-listen together. Your avatar will even appear on the episode page to let them know you've joined them.

To ensure your privacy, you have the option to hide your online status and/or what you're listening to in your user settings. #podcasting2 #truefans 🎧🔊

Another small update to TrueFans. On every podcast page there is an info icon. This opens a popup that shows the metadata of that podcast i.e date create, number of followers, who hosts the podcast etc.

We also have a chart showing the length of the last 10 episodes. We have now added your personal listening time as a chart for each episode.

If you hover over a bar chart it will tell you all the specific details for each episode. i.e Listen Time, Percent Completed and Value Paid.
