I know that new user experience is awful now. Can’t even correct misinformation because my whole range of available dynamically assigned IP addresses from my ISP (the largest in the country) are blocked and I can’t find any way to sign up for an account that’s navigable compared to the benefit of a huge body of errata on a wide range of topics. That’s my example.
Beyond that, a bureaucracy has arisen and much like the nomenklatura they exhibit many of the problems of the system they sought to replace.
Wikipedia is still great.
But the new stuff is not as fun. The user added photographs from 20 years ago pleasantly surprise me a lot more than the new stuff. But I don’t keep a file on hand.
