For one thing, I know they're never going to pay me.
For another, I'm not doing this because I hate AI or whatever. I'm
doing it for *survival*. The host that my wiki runs on *cannot*
process those thousands of useless dynamic page requests. If I were
to say "hey, pay me X dollars, and you can send as many page diff
requests as you want", I would be making a promise of services I cannot
deliver.
