To summarize, there are 4 main categories for how something like Fandom can be funded. My understanding is that Gamepedia Pro is an ad-free experience that users can either purchase or earn though meeting certain wiki contribution criteria.
 * 1) Ad revenue
 * 2) Charge users a subscription to have an account
 * 3) Charge users a subscription to have a wiki
 * 4) Ask for donations

Fandom has been working on Revenue diversification for a couple of years. Things like ScreenJunkies and Undermine and RPGs. Ad sales don't keep all the lights on anymore.
