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.
Are people really reading Youtube, pornhub, facebook, Instagram pages this frequently or are these misclicks from search result page?

I wonder what the results would look like without the Great Firewall of China.
Not much different if you are still counting the English Wikipedia.
However, if we take Wikipedia's claim at face value, it's actually ten million.[1]

It's interesting that others seems to go the same route as I do for movies and TV shows and just use Wikipedia rather than IMDB. IMDB has become so awful to use and shows no sign of improving.

But this "view" isn't really a "read". There are other pages I've also read much more in-depth, and in terms of "time spent" it would probably rank much higher.

Back when phone books were common it was probably the most "viewed" book.

It's worse than that. It affects the entire site. Here's an example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Three_(automobile_manufact... > "GM, for instance, at one time picked up the entire cost of funding health insurance premiums of its employees, their survivors and GM retirees, as the US did not have a universal health care system ." This is an article about automakers. The reason they picked up future healthcare co…
You're only reading that as a political jab because you're too entranced in American partisan politics. Americans are a minority among the portion of the world's population that can read English easily enough to consult the English language Wikipedia. When doing so, the rest us can use a brief reminder of what's ultimately a rather quaint aspect of the US: The fact that healthcare costs are a significant concern of e…
As for this specific article about the Big Three, the statement in question was added by user GoldDragon[1], who was banned for 'sock-puppetry' in 2011 and, by their edit history, appears to have hailed from Ontario, Canada.

One very curious thing I ran into today: this morning I woke up and when I checked my phone, the (Spanish) Wikipedia page for Cleopatra was open on my browser. I didn't myself open that intentionally, but I thought I must have accidentally tapped on some links while I was asleep, and ended up there. But now I see this website and it turns out that "Cleopatra" is consistently one of the most visited pages in the Spani…
