Wikipedia got as bad as it did because neoliberals had gotten into positions of power and kicked everyone else out. They weren't the people who made the site (it was one guy who did like 90% of the articles) but they are the ones who made it the shithole that it is today.

Besides still needing to establish that a) wikipedia is bad today (as opposed to just flawed), you also need to establish b) what about this would entice people over from wikipedia and c) if it did succeed, then why wouldn't whoever got into positions of power with wikipedia get into the same positions of power on the biggest instances?
