Comment on How paid Wikipedia editors squeeze you dry

Comments

I don't understand why some people like to criticize the reputation of wikipedia.

Wikipedia is not perfect, but their process is quite mature and robust.

I even read people saying wikipedia is politicized.

I'm convinced it's attacked by bad-actors because there are few sites that respect the user as much as Wikipedia.

Wikipedia's processes are anything but. It almost feels like it's less mature now than it was 10 years ago. I've seen this with other communities where people move on and the only people left are disproportionately made up of mediocre Peter principle-proving folks who see it as a comfortable and insular hobby where seniority/tenure trumps everything else.
