It's important to note that the benefits of having SSL far outweigh the potential problems. The cost is fairly low for a business to have a certificate for their main domain, the speed difference is not very noticeable (to the point that many major social networks have https on every page). Every website should be developed with the ability to add https on every page

The need is too great to have the service that wikipedia provides, if people are becoming less willing to keep it accurate then that is interesting. If people are consistently finding inaccurate or uninformative articles then they will search for their information somewhere else
I found this page where you can listen to the 'sound of wikipedia', basically a different guitar string is plucked at a different pitch when certain changes are made to wikipedia articles. It is pretty cool in the sense that it shows a lot of changes are being made, however you are able to see and hear the amount of changes made by bots, which is surprisingly few
