Re: How to use Wikipedia properly: the best and worst of Wikipedia

Re: The concept of enshitifaction as applied to Wikipedia
Just as Facebook/Google/YouTube/Twitter/TikTok etc monetized other people's content creation, so did Wikipedia. Just because Wikipedia has a different way of collecting the money (donations), doesn't make it any less of an exercise in Silicon Valley capitalism. Just because Wikipedia isn't turning ...
