The Wikimedia foundation vastly outpaces expenses. Despite doing their best to convince you if you don't donate $10 right now Wikipedia will literally evaporate ๐ฅบ๐
They can afford to not pay like shit
They're also wasting massive amounts of money on things outside their core mission and scope.
I think you missed my point.
I'm not worried about them running out of funding. I'm worried about their reputation in the public's eye.
No I got that I was just pointing out there's no reason to do this besides naked greed
thanks for this info, cancelled my recurring donation ๐ฎโ๐จ I'll give that money to a small local org instead
