Aside from the problems with all WR polls that were pointed out recently, the problem with this one in particular is that we're not ranking these reasons, it's only allowing us to choose one, when in fact all of them (and several more) will probably factor into the ultimate failure of WP. Except for "terrorists will attack the servers," that is. If that happened, it would probably prolong WP's existence, not shorten it.
You also forgot two additional items, namely "Bots will make most human editors obsolete," and "New legislation will make it impossible for Wikipedia to operate as a revenge platform, causing users to look elsewhere for entertainment." Still, I voted for Option 1, which is the most catch-all of the bunch - the other things will all be factors that cause #1 to happen, most likely. Even then, they'll still operate the servers for years afterward, barring the aforementioned new legislation. |
