Comment on After 25 years, Wikipedia has proved that news doesn’t need to look like news

I use Wikipedia all the time as a news source, especially on topics mainstream gets bored of. Mostly ongoing trial stuff that takes months and months to get updates.
It’s also great if you want background on a topic referenced in the news because it’s like an archive of every event that lead up to the point

Same, it’s been one of the only easily accessible tools to combat the 24hr news cycle for me. There’s so many ongoing major events that have gotten difficult to find up-to-date reporting on thru search engines (probably because of SEO)

SEO has been absolutely terrible for news.
