Hi Lodewijk! The Global Readers Survey has been the yearly followup to the Why We Read Wikipedia survey - in that it's been asking the motivation question year over year, though with some tweaks to the question over time which limits the ability to compare over time (changing from single-select to multi-select). The 2025 Global Reader Survey was just published to Meta recently, and you can find it here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Knowledge_Gaps_Index/Measurement/Readers_Survey_2025
