I truly do not understand the Wikipedia editor grind but God bless all the brave soldiers fighting in the trenches
Can see this in an old Batman tv show fight.
I want this to be so much better than it is:
facebook posters use this “urge to correct” on their advantage, posting minor mistakes intentionally in public groups, and since there is no thumbs down, it get promoted by means of getting lots of interaction
Same thing with post titles on 🤮reddit.
Gaming the besserwisser for the common good.
So what’s the other six?
- YouTube
- Pornhub
- Ebay
- DeviantART
- AO3
- Archive.org
I dunno there’s probably better choices but these were what I thought of. Is there a website that has a copy of every public domain music file?
Thepiratebay

They have played us like a fiddle!
That was one of the factors that helped it stick around, it started as an online dictionary you could link to, so you didn’t have to write out an info dump every time somebody asked online about something. Even the biggest pages on there now all started out as small stubs written off from pages in school books. Though that’s also what gained it a bit of reputation early on as it grew quicker than could be managed at times.
