How quickly would wiki tank if the bad faith actors outnumbered the good?
And have you SEEN Facebook?
The bad faith actors used to outnumber the good. That's why Wikipedia's reputation has never recovered, and they've never been able to beat the allegations. However, Wikipedia fixed what was wrong with their system of citing and verifying information contributed by others years ago. And X's Community Notes system has a similar mechanism in place that has proven to be equally as effective and verifiable.
