Granted. But Britannica has been at it a lot longer than three years.

The other thing to remember is that a lot of our articles are very
modern and refer to completely current events. They are very relevant
to people on the cutting edge. Someone mentioned a type of armor in
Gundam anime. This would be important for anime film translators,
artists, and for afficionados. The Britannica cannot help them there.

It's a matter of the usefulness of the encyclopedia that is
important.
