The user isn't arguing in good faith here is one of his other comments

>Wikipedia could shut down permanently tomorrow and the world will be a better place.

Wikipedia is a vital resource for the internet and one of humanities supreme achievements. He can certainly have whatever opinion he likes but when has opinions like this he can't be trusted.

Yeah, I have zero good faith towards Wikipedia and the wikipedos who run it.

https://wikipedia.fivefilters.org/

good faith arguments, on HN? bro you know what this site is for, right?
If the argument doesn't fit the majority narrative then it's not in good faith. Aka democracy in action.

I've linked in the past to a paper which shows how wikipedos use circular arguments to push a narrative.

I use eb.com and so should you.

So when the cofounder of Wikipedia calls it compromised, is he also arguing in bad faith?

I have no idea what you’re talking about. Maybe some context would help. Is this a cofounder who currently works there?

I don’t think this is directly relevant.

Look up Larry Sanger but not on Wikipedia.
