The implied subscription threat is a complete red herring. They should be ashamed for even mentioning it in their fundraising messages. Wikipedians wouldn't work for free for a subscription service.

The Wikimedia Foundation's own mission statement says, "The Foundation will make and keep useful information from its projects available on the internet free of charge, in perpetuity." https://wikimediafoundation.org/about/mission/ https://wikimediafoundation.org/about/mission/
