About the only time I find myself using regular Wikipedia these days is if I need to know if someone died since August 2025 when this ZIM dump was created.

    Technically, yeah. But with less people going to Wikipedia directly there would probably stand to be less chance of getting any new contributors. I’m not sure how the foundation gets all its money, but the more traffic they serve the more they can prove their relevance which might matter for funding

      Maybe I’m cynical but the type to use just the AI overview and the type donating to Wikipedia probably doesn’t have that much overlap
