Wikipedia will still exist. The corpus is too huge and valuable to rot easily. A system can decline without dying. MySpace still exists, and there is no reason Wikipedia cannot be MySpace—useful for some purposes, a shell of its former glory, a major breakthrough in its time, but fundamentally bypassed by other sources of information. I don’t know what the Facebook to Wikipedia’s MySpace is, but the Internet survived for decades without Wikipedia, we’ll get along without a live Wikipedia. Even though it is a huge loss of potential.

Haha. Like “MySpace”. “Myspace is still around”.

I’ve always been sympathetic to this argument, but the debate was shut down decades ago.
