I think the intent was to be like a wiki/knowledge base, but I agree with your and GPs sentiment though.

Aside: is there a wiki platform for things like these? I know there's fandom wikis which feels like the wrong platform for these sorts of things, and that you can host your own, but sometimes that's just overkill...

Do we have a business idea here (with a free tier, obvs)?

I don't mind offering one on a cheap VPS, with restrictions on image/video files.

No need to, though: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Hosting_services


Fandom (and a few others like it) is really what you’re looking for although the adverting on these sites makes it very user hostile. I don’t know if there is a better business model for this other than charging directly. I would probably just do a one-click digital ocean deployment
