    According to the wikimedia foundation the costs for hosting the service are covered for the next decades. Most of their money goes to lobbying and other political efforts.

    So no. I like their website and am happy to help keep that funded but for now they don’t need help doing that

    When they plaster that “If everyone reading this donated $x.yz right now, we’d be done within the hour” message I’ll usually donate exactly the amount it says.

    I have in the past. I don’t donate that much or that often as they are well funded and would like to help other projects as well. I don’t make good money, so I often don’t give more than a few dollars, but will try and do so recurring.

    I donate monthly to Wikipedia, Signal, and Octoprint.
    Probably cheaper than Netflix too nowadays.

    I would, if I got money. Even if most money goes to lobbying, as another user said.

    About once a year I do something like $25. It’s about the time of year I do my NPR donation and anything else I have been procrastinating.

    I used to until they started getting naggy over email and started guilt trippy on their donation messages.
