The Talk page for that wiki entry is a microcosm of tech society, and illustrates the need for Wikipedia and its commitment to neutral point of view. It’s a difficult position to stake out, and it’s a nuanced one.
Frustrating. Someday, I'd like to see headlines that focus on news publishers working on reasonable payment systems for article access. Like bulk buys ( X articles for $) via giftcard or whatever. Instead, every single time this comes up, it always ends with less access, more siloing...less connections made, more cruft to shift. Innovation requires access to info, but if you never see it...it's hard to make connections that count or that could be helpful. Same problem that appears in Science research...if only on a smaller scale.
I commend all those who take the risk of setting up these bypasses. You take enormous personal legal risk in providing a service that morally shouldn't have been paywalled in the first place. Knowledge wants to be free after all.
