Every so often I give a few bucks(far less than the worth of knowledge I got from it)

I heard that the wiki foundation is pretty well off and the saleries they pay the executives are rising pretty fast. Havent donated myself but in principle I should, eventho the higher ups are earning this much.

I think once a year they show the donation banner, then I donate something like 10 dollars. I use Wikipedia almost daily, so I’m glad to contribute something.

Giving 10 bucks a year, even though I use it very little. But sometimes it’s just easy and quick to look something up or read an interesting article, and I know that there are many people (students, etc.) who rely on it more than I do and have less money to spend

I do, at least once a year (nothing excessive), mainly because I use the website occasionally. It’s the same reason I bought ‘reddit coins’ or whatever that used to be. I just wanted to contribute to a useful service, especially given that there is so much garbage out there

I think Wikipedia is a valuable common good and should be maintained. Because I can afford it, I donate monthly, even if I only use it a few times each month.
