Wikipedia is consistently fast, reliable, free, invaluable, current and transparent and has been for years and years. It’s a cornerstone of the internet. I’d wager it’s the internet at its best.
So yeah I’m not seeing the issue here.
- adammarples 2y agoThe issue is that they provide this wonderful service on donated money, and despite having been donated enough money now to provide it in perpetuity, they continue to beg for more while they are running the balance down by massively increasing their spending on nonsense. WMF are not Wikipedia, they are a parent organisation that spends little on keeping Wikipedia running, and a lot on their own ballooning wages.
- leokennis 2y agoEven then. No one is not sending their kid to college or missing out on a meal because they had to donate to Wikipedia/WMF. The site is free on principle and it’s fantastic. All donations are voluntary. Is it really that big of an issue that some executive bought a sailing boat or some expensive whiskeys from some of this money?
