It’ll effect things as much Conservapedia does. A laughing stock to gawk at and nothing more.
I bet by the end of next year it’s dead.
Not to sure about the latter part.
Elmo will be bankrupt in not too much time but for the moment he has pockets so deep he single handedly could fund wikipedia for the next millenia. For as long as he isn’t bankrupt and alive, that turd will be around
They might not need it to last longer than that.
This is a takeover.
Affect
Effect vs affect: Use ‘impact’ and not have to worry about two words that essentially mean the same thing but are context based.
They don’t mean the same thing. Effect means to actively change something. Affect means to have passively receive a change.
Yes, hence the second part of the sentence.
Unless you need to use the precise word for communicating the “context difference”, just use the word impact(ed/ing/s). Makes it a lot easier for ESL speakers as well.
Even then, most people can understand the meaning of the misused word due to the context of what’s being discussed anyways.

One key difference: Conservapedia was young earth creationist, Grok is not. That amount of difference unfortunately enough to convince a lot of average Joes of credibility.

Conservatives will use the nazipedia and everyone else will mock them for it

Let’s hope this time it’ll be like that, and not like Gamergate, when far-right conservatives convinced a generation worth of gamers that they’re not for-censorship, because they missed the times of calling blacks the N-word.
