THE FREE ENCYCLOPEDIA IS DEAD. In a SHOCKING betrayal of its founding principles, Wikipedia has SECRETLY SOLD OUT to the AI overlords, cutting exclusive, undisclosed deals with tech giants like Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft. This isn’t collaboration—it’s a CORPORATE CAPTURE of human knowledge, and YOU funded it with your donations and unpaid edits.
For years, Wikipedia presented itself as the last bastion of free information, built by volunteers. Now, the truth explodes into view: the platform has been operating a SHADY BACKROOM ENTERPRISE, quietly LICENSING the collective work of millions to the very companies automating jobs and flooding the internet with AI sludge. They didn’t just allow scraping; they BUILT A PAYWALL and invited Big Tech behind it.
This is a CATASTROPHIC TURNING POINT. The “human-governed knowledge” Wikipedia boasts of is now the PROPRIETARY FUEL for the AI machines that seek to replace human creativity and critical thought. The foundation’s spokesperson had the audacity to claim AI’s “long-term future” depends on nurturing Wikipedia. NO. The truth is Wikipedia’s future now depends on feeding the beast.
While Elon Musk’s ‘Grokipedia’ is dismissed as a biased toy, the ORIGINAL has committed a far greater sin: monetizing humanity’s shared intellectual commons to power systems that will inevitably distort, plagiarize, and replace it. The volunteers’ work is now a commodity, and the gatekeepers have thrown open the doors for cash.
Your reality is now for sale, and the library you built is locking YOU out to serve its new corporate masters.
