They need a whole $75/person instant as compared to Wikipedia's $3/person instant and they're not resorting to shouty, loud boxes that open modals on mobile platforms.

I love you, Internet Archive.



I don't know about mobile (I've only noticed a small banner on at the bottom of the page on WP), but it appears they're using the exact same style of banner that Wikimedia use? They even explicitly give thanks to Wikimedia in the footer of their fundraising banner. I think both services are great, so I don't really mind if either of them decide to optimize their conversion rates, just like any other startup would.
