I’ll answer deeper question “why” if you don’t mind. Wikipedia itself has become corrupted and politically and ideologically biased in past years. It has been shown multiple times. When you stop pursuing the truth and start pursuing an agenda - things get ugly over time. It’s a general pattern.
It might have something to do with Wikimedia Foundation and WP:CANCER.

And in any event, I have a really hard time getting worked up about the relatively small amount of money they deal with - and use to do a lot of good for the world - while corruption and greedy corporations are as rampant and filthy rich as they are.

It seems a bit silly to base this entire analysis on Wikipedia page views without exploring what else the WMF does. And in any event, I have a really hard time getting worked up about the relatively small amount of money they deal with - and use to do a lot of good for the world - while corruption and greedy corporations are as rampant and filthy rich as they are.
Corruption is fought best by not allowing it anywhere at all.

Two wrongs don't make a right. Corruption is fought best by not allowing it anywhere at all.

Personally I'm not worked up over it either, but I find the argument that this puts Wikipedia at risk persuasive. If it some point WMF racks up debts they can't pay and puts itself up for sale, these days probably Elon Musk or Larry Ellison would buy it.

Is the WMF in debt?
