Wikipedia:Imminent death of Wikipedia predicted

Nostradamus's prediction of the imminent death of Wikipedia: A forest of words in glass enshrined, set upon by brass men and nameless foes; no leaf without speak of the people's arts. Knowledge of Eastern fighting beasts is unrivaled.

It's often said that Wikipedia is dying. This is the latest in a long line of technological deaths. Earlier, the WikiWikiWeb died. Before that, Usenet died.

Reasons why Wikipedia is dying include and may not be limited to:

• most of the major editors are leaving
• most edits are now made by robots
• article syntax is too complicated for readers and new editors
• pop culture articles are longer than science or history articles
• power-hungry administrators are warring against content creators so they can delete everything and rule a perfect, empty wiki [Is this right? -- Ed.]
• the people with the most time to edit are also those with the most time and inclination to argue in perpetuity
• the Great Space Wombat said it is dying
• bias is going to destroy the entire neutral point of view we uphold so much
• vandalism. No elaboration required
• the WMF is more corrupt than governments
• discussion here is more toxic than on Twitter
• nobody is donating (why else do they keep asking for money?)
• people will stop visiting the main site and just get blurbs from search engines or chatbots instead
• Wikipedia has been dying since at least 100 years ago.
• there is going to be a PR disaster at WP:Wikipedia is not a reliable source

• Insert additional reasons here
