    Wikipedia mad it got competition.

    Libertarians be like: free market, competition, no state.

    Unless it affects them, then its: how unfair that I can’t have a monopoly, I want the state to remove my competitors.

      Is the Wikipedia foundation libertarian? And where do you think the AIs are ripping all their data from?

      As far as I know they aren’t some nefarious mega corporation.

        AFAIK the founder of Wikipedia is a libertarian who believes the free market will solve all problems. He, of course, has to make a bunch of excuses for why Wikipedia itself isn’t being helped by the Free Market^tm , such as “We don’t have real capitalism bro just trust me bro please donate.”
