The thing is: in the not to distant future encyclopedias will be a thing of the past.

Technically you could cite a version in the version history. But Wikipedia isn’t about being right. It’s about trying to get It better

Lemmy seems to be the old nerdy internet of the 90s, prior to the enshittification

But… you have choice. Nobody needs to go to taylor Swifts concerts. Nobody needs to see the next Marvel movie. It’s a business.

As long as people only spend money on things that are worth more to them than said money, everyone is fine. If people can’t control their purchases, it isn’t the industry’s fault.
