          Cool. The format of this video answers the actual question (How many printers would you need to keep up with a printed edition of Wikipedia) in the first 10 seconds. It then spends the rest of the video asking and answering all of the other questions around that question. Do this on clickbait and not something that fills the time with other interesting things.

            I just wanted to know how many pages total it would be. I’m not curious about what it would take to keep up with changes and additions.

              Did you know that you don’t even need to watch a video to find out that information? It’s considerably faster to just google such a factual information.

              The entire premise of Randall Munroes “What If?” Series is to not stop at the first factual information we can find, but to further explore the implications that come from that answer.

      Life Hack: you don’t need to read entire books, you can usually just skip to the last chapter.

        Equally amazing lifehack: not commenting on absolutely everything you feel a need to be included on “just cuz”.
