Recent studies have found trends in the psychological characteristics of Wikipedia participants. One study found Wikipedians less agreeable, and less [[open-mindedness|open-minded]] than non-Wikipedians with similar internet time-spent, according to the definition of those characteristics used by the study (Big five personality traits). This leads study conductors to hypothesize that the results occur because Wikipedia participants, rather than altruistically contributing without any financial reward, "are compensating. It is their way to have a voice in this world." ( January 2009 by Peter Aldhous. "[https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn16349-psychologist-finds-wikipedians-grumpy-and-closed-minded/ Psychologist finds Wikipedians grumpy and closed-minded]", New Scientist). This is consistent with previous research on internet users in general, presumably all compensating for real-world deficiencies, who are found to have, "higher levels of social anxiety and lower social skills."[http://www.liebertonline.com/doi/abs/10.1089/cpb.2007.0225]. The use of the term "overcompensation" (compensation - psychology) implies that Wikipedia use is not a healthy reaction or adjustment to social awkwardness or a neutral behavior, but rather an unhealthy activity which causes harm by failing to truly address a root cause, instead hiding it.

Negative effect of internet usage on personality:

Psychology of Wikipeda users

Recent studies have found trends in the psychological characteristics of Wikipedia participants. One study found Wikipedians less agreeable, and less open-minded than non-Wikipedians with similar internet time-spent, according to the definition of those characteristics used by the study (Big five personality traits). This leads study conductors to hypothesize that the results occur because Wikipedia participants, rather than altruistically contributing without any financial reward, "are compensating. It is their way to have a voice in this world." ( January 2009 by Peter Aldhous. "Psychologist finds Wikipedians grumpy and closed-minded", New Scientist). This is consistent with previous research on internet users in general, presumably all compensating for real-world deficiencies, who are found to have, "higher levels of social anxiety and lower social skills."[1]. The use of the term "overcompensation" (compensation - psychology) implies that Wikipedia use is not a healthy reaction or adjustment to social awkwardness or a neutral behavior, but rather an unhealthy activity which causes harm by failing to truly address a root cause, instead hiding it.

Traffic to Conservapedia: 2026 to 2036

"Conservapedia.com is a niche, conservative wiki encyclopedia with relatively low and declining traffic. Based on recent data, it averaged approximately 85,000 monthly visits in 2025 (derived from August 2025 figures of ~87,000 visits, adjusted for reported month-over-month drops). This baseline reflects heavy reliance on search engine traffic (about 20–25% of traffic) and direct/referral sources, with a global rank in the low millions.

...traffic is likely to decline steadily.
