I had the very same exact experience. It is astounding to me that there are no legitimate competitors to Wikipedia at all after 15 years. It's funny how social networking is such a competitive space from facebook --> instagram --> snapchat etc but it's still just Wikipedia --> Wikipedia --> Wikipedia

What money is there to be made from an online encyclopedia? Selling ads? :)

There's a few people doing this with Wikipedia content anyway, of course, not to mention the content farms geared towards search queries, which just makes the competitive space for a raise VC-capital to invest a lot of time and effort into making an ad-supported traditional encyclopedia that's actually good seem even less attractive
