The high value of Wikipedia is the (only?) reason why so many people tolerate really annoying donation solicitation practices.
If it were any other way, it wouldn't be this way.
- myself248 5y agoI either found a way to unsubscribe from these, or I found a way to filter them. I now make a monthly donation, and I see the receipts from those transactions, and that's it. Just the way I like it. Contrast with the Red Cross, whose annoyance-to-value ratio is far worse, IMHO, to the point that I refuse to donate. Yes they're providing literal life blood to people who may die without it, but have you SEEN their firehose of email? I don't understand why this continues. It must work better than the alternatives, which is awful.
