Rae Witte (October 25, 2025). "The Wikipedia Page on "Brain Rot" Is Protected Until 2026 Due to Extensive Vandalism". Futurism. In a particularly meta twist, the page for "brain rot" — let's just go with Wikipedia's definition, which is the "negative cognitive, emotional, and/or behavioral consequences" of consuming content that's "trivial, simplistic, or low in quality" — has been defaced so much that it's now protected against public edits until early 2026.
