I swear, the only reason I ever go to Wiki now is when my husband and I are watching a movie and want to look up a celebrity. We were re-watching Tremors the other day and it was like, "Huh, is Kevin Bacon still married to whats-her-name?" "Yeah, thay have that daughter who was in that Smile movie." "Is that thier only kid?" "Let me check...<goes to Wikipedia>...nah, she's got an older brother named Travis."
Isn't it funny that there are people who put so much effort into movies and celebrities and everything sports? But they do. people who edit have their own worlds.
I NEVER use it, & I scoff at goofballs who post a Wikipedia link to prove something to me.
For all I know, they just got done editing that entry.
I sent one of them a link to a site, & she replied with a screen cap of the Wikipedia entry for the site, which declared it a "right wing hoax site." It's like she was afraid she'd morph into a MAGA person if she dared actually click on it.
She's right to be afraid. One time, I clicked on an article and learned that President Obama had not only authorized the assassinations of American citizens without the trivialities of arrest, arraignment, indictment, trial, conviction, or sentencing, but then bragged about his kill list. Ever since then I don't trust drones.
I gave them five dollars maybe ten years ago, but recently? No, nada, none, zilch. It's still a fine place to read some older articles about some historical thing or another to pass a rainy Monday afternoon, but anything current? They've lost the plot entirely. Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy it isn't (anymore).
And that's an additional why I stiff arm Wikipedia every time it asks for a donation. Nein, nada, nōh, nyet and nope.

Only reason I go there as well or geographical info. I look up tv shows and episodes. That’s it.

I, admittedly, still use Wikipedia, but I also still use USPS. Much like my mailbox, Wikipedia is also often full of a lot of useless shit.
She seems to have an irony deficiency.
That honestly sounds like you're a goofball who posted a link to a right wing hoax website to try to prove something to someone else.
Uh huh.
Same. I used to donate, but stopped once I learned how captured it is by activist editors.

Nevah!
