Why don't they find a way to monetize it and stop begging for donations? Even a non-profit needs money to survive. I can live with non-obtrusive ads if that ensures Wikipedia's survival. It might even be less obtrusive than the huge banner at the top right now asking for donations.
- richardw 17y agoAbsolutely. Wikipedia can dictate the ads, how subtle they must be, text vs image, and they have a fantastic ability to target. So the whole universe gives them this business model they could nail, and they refuse. Well, okay. I'd rather click on ads than give money every year. In fact, the plaintive wailing bugs me more than any real ad so I'm motivated to not donate.
