The might be leaving to other newer alternatives like blockchain-based Everipedia.org or Golden.com (which recently raised from a16z).

Thanks for the analysis, I'm sure you're right WikipediasBad.

EDIT: Looking at both websites, neither of them seem remotely in the same market as Wikipedia.

Ah thanks for the downvote, you're very neutral and would make a great Wikipedia contributor. /s

How are the two sites not remotely in the same market? They are literally knowledge bases. Albeit, Golden is focusing more on structured data similar to Wikidata.org and Everipedia.org is focusing more on blockchain related content first with the backend using smart contracts/token incentivization.

I gave Golden a read when it first popped up, but it's backed by VC so I'm not sure how this model goes well with open access to data.
