I recently saw a thing about how many hundreds of millions (… billions?) wikipedia get, and how it’d be enough to keep wikipedia running for however many centuries… was it maybe in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3YZYEERhn8 amidst other grievances? [Edit: if it wasn’t in that, doubtless dozens of other vids on it: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=wikipedia+donations+exposed ]
Puts a different context and feels on that message, huh?
It means we can continue to keep Wikipedia running smoothly
U-huh.
and provide free and reliable information
Because the gatekeepers know best. Trust them. Pay no attention to the fallibility, conflicts of interest, censorship, etc etc etc.
I have been donating $1.37/month for the past decade
You’re a fucking legend!
This may be a dumb question but… who are they hiring if not financial staff? Shouldn’t becoming a financially healthy organisation be their top priority? You know, as to not go bankrupt and have to start selling out to Microsoft or whoever.
I am not sure, I have not analyzed their financials in detail :/
I do the default monthly donation, Wikipedia is a world wonder that has many frothing at the opportunity to burn it.
If I had any money to donate, I’d donate. Unfortunately, I’ve never been in a worse position.
My spouse and I donate as generously as we can as often as we can. We donate for ourselves, but do as much as we can for those who can’t. You, friend, have reminded me to make another donation.
This one’s not for you, it’s from you
On this day we are all the fartographer
I have donated a couple of times.
