I'm completely fine with how they use their money and will continue donating as long as Wikipedia remains a valuable resource for me. I do not care much that Wikimedia is not directly Wikipedia and that they spend more money than Wikipedia would alone.
This feels similar to the Mozilla vs Firefox "why is Mozilla spending money on other things" argument.
I will continue donating to Mozilla, Wikimedia, and the Internet Archive because I think they're all doing important work beyond their core products. I don't have to pick one or the other, I can give to all of them.
