That’s like donating to wikipedia, you think you’re doing a good thing but they reveal pretty quickly how big of a mistake that actually was.

They require you give them an email and then once you do they spam it relentlessly.

Maybe they’ve changed because I donate and also contribute as an editor, and checking my email, I’ve only received one email* from them all year, and that was on January 6th titled “A record of your support for Wikipedia” from the Wikimedia Foundation, and it was a thanks and a tax receipt.

Maybe there’s a consent checkbox somewhere that I don’t remember unchecking.

*not counting notifications received in my role as contributor.
