Wikipedia is a special case for me because it's owned by a non-profit which has thoroughly proven it can sustain itself on donations and grants.

  Though perhaps not all that well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Guy_Macon/Wikipedia_has_Cancer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Guy_Macon/Wikipedia_has_C...

    The author of that certainly has a point, but the cancer analogy feels SO forced and is really off-putting.

      Yeah… I almost didn't link it because of that.

    I'm sure reasonable people can disagree about how much money Wikipedia needs to raise and what projects are essential, but the main point stands. Although, I'm not sure it's reasonable to call linear expense growth "cancerous".

    That article doesn't seem to account for actual traffic growth.
