real talk tho, donate to Wikipedia if you use it. just do it.
I made a larger donation once after years of using it and finally being in a position where I could comfortably toss money at stuff that was free. and I’ve made a few smaller ones since. I should probably have paid more, it’s done a hell of a lot more for me than any streaming service has, especially when rated as gain/cost
I value Wikipedia and appreciate what they do is important but they have plenty of money. If you are in the financial situation to donate and want to great but I get a bit sick of the guilt tripping they do. They claimed every day for the past decade that they’re about to go out of business any moment now.

Agreed. There’s no need for them to beg for handouts every year like they’re going out of business.

Also since we’re on the fediverse, toss a donation at your friendly instance admins since they’re shouldering so much cost and trouble as volunteers
Edit to add: ditto for any free/open source projects and services you use!
