Just a couple of minutes ago I wanted to point out while chatting that two
(shitty) singers work together because they work for the same major. A
bunch of years ago I had to open some Google result to find such info, now
I don't.

Loss of readers is not bad in itself, it can be if there's a significant
number of potential new editors among the readers we lose in this way
(also, readers could affect fundraising, but I think we already make enough
of it). Anecdotically I think new editors rather come from those who look
for info which cannot be found in knowledge graph, but surely this requires
a proper investigation.
