The article reproduced below, unchanged from 2013–2014, is the '''fertile ground''' — the seedbed — from which WikiDeal grew. Read it knowing what it does not yet contain: the leap '''from competences to contracts'''. Everything the project taught people to do with skills — edit openly, govern together, trace every contribution — WikiDeal now applies to agreements and the sharing of value. Same wiki behaviours, new stakes.

The Wikinomics vision has often been criticised as a subtle form of labour outsourcing: unpaid or under-recognised "prosumer" work can become a way of extracting free labour from consumers and collaborators, while the majority of the value is captured elsewhere. Drawing on authors such as Fred Turner (''From Counterculture to Cyberculture'', 2006) and José van Dijck (''The Culture of Connectivity'', 2013), the critique warns that a "culture of sharing" can mask a real asymmetry between the value created by a community and the reward it actually receives.

This is precisely the tension WikiDeal was designed to address: not to abandon mass collaboration, but to build the economic and governance mechanisms that let collaborative value be recognised, tracked and fairly redistributed.

The Wikinomics project (2013–2014) is best understood as '''one of the fertile grounds (seedbeds)''' on which WikiDeal was later developed. Three threads carry directly into WikiDeal:


# '''Fair recognition of collaborative value.''' The project's core worry — that collaborative labour can be extracted without fair reward — is the problem WikiDeal's economic innovations (subscription tokens, need-driven funding, real-cost commission, revenue spreading) are built to solve.
