I found google doesn't lead me to wikipedia as often anymore. Also wikipedia is kinda stagnant in quality.
These are of course, my own personal experience. Still a very useful resources whenever I want to learn about a given subject.
- uncletammy 6y ago> I found google doesn't lead me to wikipedia as often anymore. Ive also noticed this. Wikipedia used to always be in the first few results for any Google search I made. It was amazing becauase it was frequently the exact thing I was trying to find. Now I have to add 'wiki' to the search terms or it wont even show up in the first page.
- adventured 6y agoIt got to the point where over half of all Google search results were producing Wikipedia as the top result. No doubt they noticed and made some targeted adjustments to subtly downrank Wikipedia. Which might be a good thing if it leads to other quality sites getting more traffic.
- cpach 6y agoFairly often I simply go to https://en.wikipedia.org/ https://en.wikipedia.org/ and type my query in the search box there instead of googling it.
- whoooooo123 6y agoI recommend setting a search keyword in your browser so you can eg just type "w hacker news" in the address bar to be taken to the Wikipedia page for hacker news. I use this shortcut dozens of times per day.
