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.[1]
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[2]
- Wikipedia has been dying since at least 100 years ago.
- there is going to be a PR disaster at Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not a reliable source
- there is a greater risk of an article about
- loss of traffic as users flock to Uncyclopedia
