@alexture @hannah some recent title about wikipedia refered to it as the last good place on the internet which sadly rings true
it is a singular place unlike any other "top" website, there is no doubt about this
the question is how does this factual reality percolate through the mix of algorithms, weights, and variety of business and other "optimizations"
my guess (but it is just that) is that there is an element of target seeking. precisely because wikipedia is not just another statistic.
