by Firefox user 14338612, 4 months agoThis takes the collaborative spirit of Wikipedia and warps it into a mess filled with ads and shady connections. (At least) one of the developers has intellectually, materially and technologically benefited a discriminatory settler-colonial regime, which adds a disturbing layer to the whole project. This is the perfect example of 'entrepreneurs' taking someone else's hard work and making money off of it, all the while violating the spirit of the creation. Thanks but no, thanks. I'll stick to the boring old 'outdated' version of the site that the community has been diligently working on for ages instead of this AI filled garbage :)
Edit: forgot to add - check out how many servers worldwide this thing is shaking hands with in the background while you're reading your article on Nabataea or the Achaemenids. You might be terribly surprised.
Edit 2: From the horse's own mouth
