Until there's overt advertising its unlikely to enshittify the normal way.

Trust me we will be deep into that territory so fast it is going to make your head spin.

Wikipedia has outlived most of "web2.0" because its funded by donations and run by volunteers.

Private equity and VC funding can't directly buy Wikipedia and dissect it because it is an at least somewhat functional non-profit organization. That is the only reason.

Twitter

Twitter was ad driven and was enshittifying before musk bought it, and sold because they were a public company.

Jay Graber will likely get bored and sell it off or monetize eventually but twitter is definitely not the model here.
