Anyone have any idea why this one is at the top today with almost double the 2nd entry? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Dee_Dee_Blanchard EDIT: Ah, her daughter was released from prison today. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-67833339

That page reads like a blog or a murder novel, not a wikipedia article

The reason of so many entries being made up of "Indian interests", is because the cheap internet provided by Reliance Jio. Purely speculation on my part, but I have seen more internet presence of Indian public after Reliance Jio. That and affordable or cheap even Android phones being easily available. As there's 1.4 billion of us, it was bound to happen at some point, but I think Reliance Jio's cheap internet and eas…

The cost of my internet connection has little bearing on how much I browse Wikipedia.

Even YouTube I watch with little regard to internet cost, since on 144p it's only 100 MB for an hour of video. Obviously I do pay attention to the quality setting, because the bill can get huge fast if on HD!

I had the same question. Seems like the perpetrator (her daughter?) was released from prison yesterday: https://www.google.com/search?q=Dee+Dee+Blanchard&sca_esv=59...

Seems like she (daughter) planned it or at least provided the weapon, but the person who actually did it was her boyfriend and is now serving life without possibility of parole. Kind of a crazy sentence considering the 'victim' truly had it coming (tortured her daughter for years, with unnecessary surgeries, feeding tube, etc)

I don’t mean to snark but a little depressive that it is all brands, celebrities, marvel movies, etc, right? I hope there is a long tail we don’t see here where people look up more general knowledge. Would be interesting to see top views per category.

> unnecessary surgeries

I hope the doctors involved got a decent reprimand for that too...

I would highly contest that. It's certainly not "The" reason, unless this is an advertisement. Jio is not even the cheapest option anymore in many places. I think your assessment is outdated. Indian people are at par with their Inrernet usage as the most of the world, it's just that there are a LOT of us in the world. That's "the" reason - Population.
