> Wikipedia is up to 400+ employees now?

Woah. 400+ is nearly as many[1] workers as Amazon[2]. Yet somehow nobody ever talks about unionizing Wikipedia's warehouses.

But it's all there in these Tweets: check out donation recipients like SeRCH gaming the Youtube recommendation engine to misinform elevens[3] of viewers.

1: 400 + 1,608,000

2: https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/AMZN/amazon/number...

3: 43 views in that first video alone. And while I can't read the entire title of the one in the corner, the author's screenshot shows 256 views: nearly twenty times the number of elevens in 43.

Edit: sorry, my math was way off there.

256 is only has about 6 times the number of elevens as 43 does. But my broader argument stands.
