You might contribute also out of idealism, e.g. because you have
the strong belief that it will be useful one day. I guess that's
the fuel on which every site runs after bootstrapping, then for a
while. If after the initial idealism there's no broader acceptance,
then either there's something fundamentally wrong about some
impotant bits of it, or it's just not needed.
(I wish I would have been here when perlmonks did bootstrap - I
still wonder about how they (you) managed to give this site a going.
Is it the Everything Engine? the idea of combining a newsgroup-like
thing with posting (node) reputation and personal XP? Is it that
you were just so smart people, and high quality coders? all together,
I think.)
