should have a fate similar to stackoverflow: less contributors, worse (or stale) content, less visits




I’ll be curious to see how true this turns out to be.

I stopped visiting SO frequently years ago, even before LLMs.

But I still visit Wikipedia. I often just want to read about X, vs. asking AI questions about X.


This. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, while some of the content needs to be updated periodically, it also has A LOT of content that will stay relevant pretty much forever.

According to their own stats (visible in the graph some folds down), it seems to have a fairly steady rate of edits. As for visits, it looks quite constant as well https://diff.wikimedia.org/2025/10/17/new-user-trends-on-wik...

So activity is plateauing.
