- ampdepolymerase 6y agoThe growth looks perfectly normal if you take into account the growth of the internet.
- wodenokoto 6y agothe argument hidden away from the graphs are that wikipedia went from 1.4 billion page views in 2005 to 16 billion pageviews in 2019, which is far from matching the growth in spending. Not mentioned is that WMF is now hosting highres images and video.
