that could, in theory, usher in a new period of tech innovation, but big tech has big pockets.he way. i'm talking about wikipedia. and last week, the i3th—most visited website celebrated its 20th birthday. in its early days, many people struggled to get their heads around the idea of an encyclopaedia that could be edited by anyone. the free online encyclopaedia now hosts 55 million articles. it can be accessed in over 300 languages and it's read 15 billion times every month. that's 8,000 times a second! as social media sites have battled disinformation, polarisation and accusations of censorship, wikipedia has fought hard to maintain the trust of its readers and to keep its role as a neutral arbiter and trusted resource. it does feel heavy to our community. we know we have a responsibility to get it right, and particularly in this era where there's so much misinformation, disinformation that circulates on social media, to be very vigilant about quality of the sources that we rely on and to be really thoughtful that, hey, we do have a place in the world. people trust us to at le

something i've observed in 2020 is that white-collar tech workers, the rank-and-file white-collar tech workers were among the biggest donors to bernie sanders campaign in 2016 and i think people were trying to make arguments about well, that has to do with the fact that there tech workers. the most obvious explanation for that is these are people within certain age brackets that went heavily for bernie in 16 and again in 2020 . i think that's one fairly obvious way in which this does manifest whereas the politics of people further up the ladder tend to be a bit different . i wouldn't put all that to generational changes. i don't think that's always the most helpful frame. they obviously have a different relationship to production but that is one thing we certainly see. >> i'd say just to add one quick thing about a pattern we saw in numbers as i reflect in the instances of this book and other interviews you've done for logic magazine is this pattern of young people sort of rising in a valleyanswer . optimism and then are they age let's say 27 or 28 have been a bit disillusioned or perh
