I cannot read the article, but this seems like a non-issue.

Loads of old Wikipedia pages are essentially complete. Just freeze them.

And didn’t the Wikipedia foundation have years worth of funding already? And wouldn’t fewer visitors imply less need for server and bandwidth?

Current events need editors, and those will have controversy. I expect primary news sources would be better for anything less than a week old.

A Wikipedia that freezes at 2024 would still be of great value.

Clearly, I am missing the problem.
