Many people access it daily, and the information they get from that
The value would be obvious if Wikipedia were a for profit company listed
on the stock markets. Not that it would have a real value identical to a
computation based on imagined advertising revenue. It is in the billions

Don't worry. Any one who has thought about this sort of thing much has
come away more puzzled than when they began. What for example is the
value of a cigarette? The price is rather easy.
