You must be a zoomer, the public never read books... before the internet it was more common for someone in your group of friends to just make up pure bullshit on the spot and insist they knew something about something without anyone critically looking into it any further.

On average wikipedia articles are quite good, of course if you're an expert on a particular subject they won't satisfy you. Just because people don't have access to any body of knowledge doesn't mean they aren't going to be making claims and judgements... if your big issue is it's bad because some articles on obscure subjects aren't thorough or even that some wrong information may lay dormant for a while then your books aren't a better alternative.
