MODERATORS
I want to see a website that links to whatever is the least viewed Wikipedia article at any given time until all Wikipedia articles basically have the same number of views.
There is a site, that randomly shows YouTube videos with 0 views.
I do remember that. I suppose not enough people would ever use it for things to ever balance out.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:New_pages_patrol already does something like that to ensure all new pages get some minimum number of views to check the quality.
