The banner ads are bigger than ever.
Oh and this was posted on the front page of Hacker News today:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21699011Hilarious to see nerds mumbling, in near-total ignorance, about the WMF's finances. I could tell them some stories.

I would be readier to donate to them if they weren't so Bbb23ish.
Just like I would more likely donate to the Internet Archive if they did not delete pages (they proclaim themselves as trusted citation? Bull____, at least currently. ), and if Jason Scott didn't treat some ArchiveTeam members like a pile of worthless trash (e.g. users Kyan and ATrescue).
Jason Scott has a despicable signature language. Also, what is that thing with "FORSOOTH PRITHEE" on the ArchiveTeam login page? Sick esotheric language. Can't he use proper language?

Yep, the pricks are now openly implying they might sell out to a profit-making corporation. Something that set off ugly warfare in the past....usually because Wales started bringing it up....

The ranting aggressive banner ads finally stopped.
But I saw this on the front page of Reddit today. Note that a moderator deleted it for no apparent reason, ha ha......

Good God that is fuckin'
pathetic.
This is why the facts you found need to be made into a book, and hammered into the brains of the English-language Internet userbase to the point where the 'bots are reciting the facts in their sleep.

That donation notice so obnoxious everytime. Avoid wikiped if i can. Its on all languages too. Less lines or shrink the text size then its bearable. This way they just annoy average people.
