true but there would be a massive resource imbalance. A small team of paid professionals whose job was solely wikipedia edits would quickly overwhelm the efforts of well meaning amateurs.
Additionally, there is a market size problem. For example, a highly literate, politically mobilised population would out-edit a less literate, politically apathetic competitor.

A small team of paid professionals whose job was solely wikipedia edits would quickly overwhelm the efforts of well meaning amateurs. Is this a real problem, in the USA at least? Trump spent literal billions to have armies of paid professionals make him look good and still lost the popular vote by millions. > For example, a highly literate, politically mobilised population would out-edit a less literate, politically apathetic competitor. Politically mobilized populations will trounce everything, the sky is the limit. Controlling Wikipedia is one of the least interesting thing they could do. Wikipedia did not cause culture wars.
