🔗 Wikipedia: Imminent Death of Wikipedia Predicted

...film at 11.

It's often said that Wikipedia is dying. This is the latest in a long line of technological deaths. Earlier, the WikiWikiWeb died. Before that, Usenet died.

Reasons why Wikipedia is dying include and may not be limited to:

• most of the major editors are leaving
• most edits are now made by robots
• article syntax is too complicated for readers and new editors
• pop culture articles are longer than science or history articles
• power-hungry administrators are warring against content creators so they can delete everything and rule a perfect, empty wiki [Is this right? -- Ed.]
• the people with the most time to edit are also those with the most time and inclination to argue in perpetuity
• the Great Space Wombat said it is dying
• bias is going to destroy the entire neutral point of view we uphold so much
• vandalism. No elaboration required.
• the WMF is more corrupt than governments
• discussion here is more toxic than on Twitter
• nobody is donating (why else do they keep asking for money?)
• people will stop visiting the main site and just get blurbs from search engines or chatbots instead
• insert additional reasons here

Wikipedia has been dying since at least 100 years ago.
