I remember 2002-era Wikipedia. I personally found its openness far more valuable, but then other people became obsessed with making it just a bigger, hyperlinked, traditional encyclopedia. I believe something was lost.

Exactly, Wikipedia was great long before it was toxic, and I don't see the rise of micromanagers on the site to have been that beneficial, certainly not enough to justify the negatives they cause.
