My biggest problem with Wikipedia now is not the bias. I can read through it and I never even made the assumption Wikipedia is trustworthy on political issues.

My biggest problem with Wikipedia now is not the bias. I can read through it and I never even made the assumption Wikipedia is trustworthy on political issues.
My problem is that the Wikimedia foundation is becoming more corrupt. They receive loads of money on donations but they need much less, so they spend it on events and paychecks for their friends. My stance is that if you want to help them do not donate now. Their spending is easily 10x inflated even if you account that they are one of the most visited websites on the Internet
- Avamander 5y agoThe bias is very visible with articles that have national interest, e.g. the ones that describe things like massacres commited by certain governments. Smaller articles are fine, those are less likely to be corrupted by persistent and small attempts at changing the narrative
