The problem has more to do with editors. The theory is that less visits leads to less editors in the long run.

- WD-42 1y agoI may be wrong, but I don’t think the people that edit Wikipedia are the same people that are content with half truths from LLMs and thus no longer visiting the site. So I kinda doubt it matters much.
- baq 1y agoThat’s certainly true for stack overflow, but in their case the moderators were very active in getting the negative feedback loop going.
- reddalo 1y agoAlso, Stack Overflow is a commercial website, while Wikipedia is a free (as in freedom) project. Editing Wikipedia feels like you're contributing towards "an ideal", that you're giving back something to humanity, instead of just helping somebody else getting richer.
