"Wikipedia is the largest compendium of human knowledge ever assembled, with more than 7 million articles in its English version, the largest and most developed of 343 language projects. Started nearly 25 years ago, the site was long mocked as a byword for the unreliability of information on the internet, yet today it is, without exaggeration, the digital world’s factual foundation. It’s what Google puts at the top of search results otherwise awash in ads and spam, what social platforms cite when they deign to correct conspiracy theories, and what AI companies scrape in their ongoing quest to get their models to stop regurgitating info-slurry — and consult with such frequency that they are straining the encyclopedia’s servers. Each day, it’s where approximately 70 million people turn for reliable information on everything from particle physics to rare Scottish sheep to the Erfurt latrine disaster of 1184, a testament both to Wikipedia’s success and to the total degradation of the rest of the internet as an information resource.
“It’s basically the only place on the internet that doesn’t function as a confirmation bias machine.”
But as impressive as this archive is, it is the byproduct of something that today looks almost equally remarkable: strangers on the internet disagreeing on matters of existential gravity and breathtaking pettiness and, through deliberation and debate, building a common ground of consensus reality."

@remixtures it is somewhat ironic that the post is about open access Wikipedia, but Verge wants an immediate subscription of cca $50 a year to read the blog post. How long is the blog post? Hope Verge gives most of the profits >80% to authors.

@francina1909 quelli che lo fanno santo sono quelli che da vivo lo apprezzavano. Per gli altri rimane un pezzo di merda prima e dopo.
