Wikipedia Sucks!

It takes zero achievement to create an “encyclopedia” that by design, is unreliable. Wikipedia’s supposed success is merely a sick accident, a confluence of having enough consumers who don’t actually care whether what they are reading is true, and enough who never even knew what Wikipedia is, how it works, what its flaws are. There is a reason that every single other project begun by its founders, up to and including replacing the news, has failed. They didn’t know what they were doing, Wikipedia was an experiment, a failed experiment, and it shows. According to one measure, it has only written a tiny fraction of the articles it is supposed to have. And of what they have written, by their own metrics, only 0.1% is up to the standard they set out to meet. Nobody cares. Too stupid to even know they’ve been conned.
