@molly0xfff It's a little disappointing to see the author give up on Wikipedia's behalf in the closing sentence:

The free encyclopedia will become too toxic to sustain.

Maybe it's just awkward editing, and it belongs in the paragraph above it—but this conclusion feels quite hostile, all but asking people to divest from the project.

@molly0xfff Yeah. My charitable interpretation is that it's hyperbole meant to goad us into action. (Thanks for clarifying!)
