But you did check and read the articles, and that's profit.
("dat is winst" -- Dutchism, probably non-existent expression in
English.)

So you think wasting people's time is "profit."

No, I meant it is a positive development, it is a sign of progress,
that you no longer ignore links to Wikipedia, but follow them, read
the articles and THEN criticise them. "Dat is winst". Progress is
probably the Engish word for this, not profit. An improvement of the
situation. Or: gain, benefit, advantage, says my dictionary, in the
context of elections.
