Ok. Instead of simply spouting vitriol, suggest an alternative service, solving the same problems, that you think genuinely cares about a fair internet.

Or do you dismiss anyone who strives to make things better as "false utopian" and "acolytes"?

That depends what you call a "fair" internet. There is a large body of people who don't believe Wikipedia embodies any kind of fairness. There are also many people who are trying to provide better information than Wikipedia. I have my own claim in that area and am happy to support others who see Wikipedia's failures for what they are -- right here, right now -- rather than some imaginary future ideal. Whatever the case, I don't think it is right for Wikipedia to claim special privileges and considerations based on utopian goals that will never happen -- that's politics not progress.
