Until now, pricing structure on rideshare apps has been opaque. 🚗
To help fix this, The Workers' Algorithm Observatory, including @andresmh and @varunrao created the FairFare app to crowdsource payment info from drivers.

As does every other job in the world.
Yet many newssite/service usually doesn't have such methods in place and instead goes with the usual ads-aproach, which is annoying, yet doesn't block you from reading stuff...
I mean, since it's about wikipedia/mediawiki, how would you feel about wanting to research something, seeing a Wikipedia entry, only to get like the summary and a big box telling you "Get the full article with Wikipedia+!"? I personally wouldn't bother using that site.

Cory Booker just obliterated Strom Thurmond’s record for the longest Senate speech.
The old record was set by a white supremacist trying to kill civil rights.
The new one?
By a Black senator fighting for them.
That’s the headline.
