We are seeing a steady decrease of page views to our projects
(Wikipedia). Nov-Dec-Jan it is decreasing in a rate of 5-10%
(year-year), and for big languages like Japanese, Spanish close to 10%,
or some months even more [1]
Is there any insights of why this is so? Could it be that Google take
over accesses with their ever better way of showing results direct (but
then also with showing extracts of Wikipedia articles) . Or that our
interface on mobiles is inferior so we miss accesses from mobiles (now
being 54% of total). Or horror of horror that users look for facts on
all new sites with fake news instead of Wikipedia?
