Скачать или смотреть The Wikipedia Blueprint: The Operating System for Online Trust

Wikipedia is an impossible success story. How did a free, ad-less encyclopedia written by volunteers become one of the most trusted and visited sites on the internet? The answer isn't technology—it's a meticulously designed social and operational blueprint.

In this episode of The Blueprint, we dissect Wikipedia's core "pillars" that govern every edit, the community dynamics of its volunteer editors, and the ingenious non-profit funding model that keeps it independent. We'll explore how transparency, reversibility, and a commitment to neutrality created a self-correcting system for knowledge that outperforms traditional top-down models. This is a case study in building a digital commons that actually works.

Can a system built on rules, not authority, produce more reliable information than a corporation or government?
