I don't understand why somebody didn't fork the Wikipedia and build the version where you can self promote. It kinda sucks that you are not allowed to claim and edit your Wikipedia page.

They did. It's called 'DNS' and you can set up a 'page' about yourself if you want.
It doesn’t kinda suck.
Wikipedia is supposed to be an encyclopaedia, which means it’s intended to come with some expectation of neutrality.
If you could edit your own page, do you really think it’d stay as factual and as neutral as possible?
Just make yourself a website.
I'm sure someone did.
Facebook and Instagram are too cheesy, I want something more genuine.
There's this wiki (I forget the link sorry) that always gave me the impression that it was made by people disgruntled they were turned away from wikipedia for original research, that's full of original research by self-styled experts. I'm sure you could write an article on yourself there, after all who's more an expert in yourself than you?

How is it genuine to write information about yourself in such a way that it seems crowdsourced?
