W13 Can wiki disappear?

  I don't think Wikipedia will disappear, although it has many problems.
  Wikipedia's advantages are why people use it. For example, Wikipedia is run by a non-profit organization, and the source of funding for website maintenance is crowdsourcing and donation. It also controls entries that are commercially propaganda-oriented. So there will be no advertisements in Wikipedia, and it can also guarantee fairness and objectivity to a certain extent. This is a difficult point for other network encyclopedias, and Wikipedia has absolute advantages in this respect.
  At the same time, Wikipedia is also popular because of its many entries and comprehensive explanations, and each entry has different language explanations, covering almost all disciplines, making it easy for people around the world to see, which makes many professionals more dependent on Wikipedia.
  And from my experience, even those who are new to Wikipedia can make their own contributions here, which gives beginners a great sense of participation. Overall, different people have different editorial guidelines. Some people only slightly revise the original text, some people like to make a big change, but here, there is a lot of space to accommodate all of the above. It would be great if someone added a perfect entry, but one of the benefits of Wikipedia is that incomplete or poorly drafted entries can be polished by collaborative editing.
  If Wikipedia were to be closed one day, it would be a great loss to mankind.
