I believe it. He is very famous, so people all over the world would want to know about him. I'm sure plenty of people reading that page are not fans of his though.

I would believe it, I mean depending on your political views he is either very famous or very infamous, I mean I would assume Hitler's page is popular but that doesn't mean people are fans of him

Here's the link to Wikipedia's own numbers:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Multiyear_ranking_of_most_viewed_pages#Top-100_list

While there are a lot of caveats to the rankings, DJT is #2 on the all-time list. Given that #1 spot is the article on The United States, that makes his the most viewed article among humans. Wikipedia provides an auspicious note to his prominence on the list: "The 2021 storming of the United States Capitol gave him the decisive push."

You should really read up on it. Of all the things listed on this quiz, I think that this it's the thing that is most likely to change humanity forever. If you don't have a science background but still want to know about the potential impacts/ethics of it, I recommend watching this video from Kurzgesagt.

I think I've heard of it, but I don't know what it is. There are so many video games with huge followings now...I tried Clash of Clans, World of Warcraft, Super Mario, Halo, Call of Duty, Zelda, Grand Theft Auto, Tomb Raider...if you're not into video games, I can't imagine how you'd know Minecraft is at the top of the list.

I've never played it. It rang a bell when I saw the answer, but I could've gone another 15 minutes and not guessed it. For some people, playing video games is their thing. For others, especially those who grew up before there was such a thing as video games, there are plenty of other things that constitute enjoyable recreation.

It's not really a cultural phenomenon the way Super Mario Bros, Tetris, Street Fighter, Pac-Man, Pokemon, or even World of Warcraft were. Pretty easy to not know about.

I mean even though It's extremely famous and most people probably know about it, I think it's just many people don't know it became #1

sorry, counter strike was played by far more players. they were just unaccounted for because everyone shared pirated installation file on CDs/USBs/file sharing platforms and played on LAN.

I don't know basically ANYONE who wouldn't play counter strike (except girls) but I can hardly count 5 people who played Minecraft.

as someone who loves counter-strike this just isn't true. minecraft has had far more players then counterstrike ever had or will, even counting pirating.

Some people (such as myself) just do not care about video games at all, so how are we expected to know which one of the tens of millions managed to be the most played? 🤷‍♂️

The person with the most-viewed Wikipedia page of the decade from 2010 to 2019 was Barack Obama.

As the 44th President of the United States, serving from 2009 to 2017, Barack Obama's page was consistently viewed due to his global prominence, major policy initiatives, and historical significance as the first African American president. His presence in both political and cultural discussions during that decade made his Wikipedia page a frequent source of information.
