All donations are final, goyim. :^)

Considering how aggressive they are it's not surprising. The tone has gone up a notch in the past 10 years.

>>107487009I don't donate to Wikipedia
>>107487009>3,4 million amerifart dollars on hostingAre you fucking shitting me? You have to actively come up with dumb shit to spend money on, if you spend that much running wikipedia. Do they run that shit in AWS in kubernetes with world-wide quadruple redundancy, with every shit that Cl*udflare offers stacked on top of that? Jesus H Christ.
and most of the article editing is done by super autistic freaks that rival that /g/ fat guy usecase meme guy.
>>107487009I considered donating but learning about what they make vs. what they actually need to run it made me not want to even go there. Considering that most articles are written and edited by volunteers working for free that's incredibly pathetic. Same thing with firefox. Fuck all those greedy asshole CEOs.
Wikipedia has cancer
Is there information on what they spend the money on?
These are their expenses in 2021, it probably got worse since then.
Wikimedia donates hundreds of thousands to channels like these.
>>107487009Are the admins still fucking with the Gaza Genocide article?
Please think of the poor, starving, obese purple-haired pronoun-enriched liberal-arts degree having hate-speech record-correcters!
>>107489749You know they get 500 times more traffic than this dogshit site which definitely costs tens of thousands to host?
>>107489862>Donation processing expensesA cool 6.4 million lmao. They spent more than twice on processing donations than internet hosting.
>>107489851Why does the yellow line keep going up so much
>>107489749Wikimedia has a lot of files, costs can probably be reduced but the overall size and traffic is not insignificant
3,4 mil is actually insanely little for how much traffic they get
>>107487009to be fair, I hope they make a lot of money. Wikipedia has been infinitely better for everyone for time immemorial, especially compared to everything else .. like social media and AI.
>>107489876>redefining STEM identity and belongingFrom what to what?>safe spacesWhy?>women and non-binary scientistsWomen scientists, I'll give you a pass on that one. There are plenty of women who work in all 3 domains of science - social, formal, natural. But non-binary scientists genuinely do not fucking exist. Sorry.>we are what scientists look likeNO THE FUCK YOU AREN'T>donateNo.>worthy of recognitionThat depends. How high quality is your work?Jesus Christ I can't stomach this shit. CAN SOMEONE TRANSLATE IT INTO SANE SPEECH FOR ME?!!
>>107490048They probably don't want cash sat in the bank because they know the jew will just magic more of it out of thin air. They have to buy assets to protect their wealth. The real question is why is a non profit accumulating so much wealth and why is allowed to do so?
>>107490376>We hate straight white males.There ya go.
>>107489862>Salaries and wagesthey pay the jannies!?!?!
>>107490376ESG money goes brrr
>>107489904>jews steal shekels on every transactionNo kidding.
>>107487009I guess they get a lot of money for propaganda.
Wikipedia is a dictatorship of the following admins>Bsadowski1>ScottishFinnishRadish>Oshwah>Yamla>Zzuuzz>JJMC89They are the admins that do 90% of the reverts and bans and have been doing it since the 2000s. When you donate to them, you are giving them tendies. They tar thousands of people as far right anonymously.
Sorry, but I'm saving for my RAM upgrade.
>>107490596Just the c-suite and their retainer hookers.
