[In Depth] Hey guys how you all doing? In the past few weeks Wikipedia has been arguably pushy about their need of contribution. I just wanted to ask this: Do they [Wikipedia] represent almost figuratively an idea called 'free speech'?

I know it could be borderline not something you'd want to talk about over the water cooler, but as its late I'm sure people want to talk about this.

I'm of the opinion of Yes. Because you know why.

I want you to try this little thought experiment: Think of the number of times you clicked to open your browser. Now think about the number of times you had the Wikipedia domain on your URL bar per session.

For real, I remember countless times I had to open Chrome just to quicksearch an article for school, or to ensure that I had the correct terminology or to have the encyclopedia at your disposal.

Thats what Wiki is guys. An encyclopedia. It's a human right to have accessible to one of those. We should not have to pay for it.

Am I stepping into a landmine here? Because I would not talk to a new friend about an issue such as this. Because in fact I would never have this conversation in real life.

Thanks in advance and be gentle.
