Yeah I'm pretty much never donating to them again. Fuck guilt trip tactics. Used to donate to them at least once or twice a year but they can suck my dick now.

The more you use it the more often they ask. Maybe.. get your info elsewhere once in a while?

You could always use another massive database that doesnt occasionally ask for a donation. Might be best for you since this is upsetting you so much.

They popup with shit on the bottom and track how many times you use their website to shame and guilt you into donating.

Based on this video, or at least, how I understand it, they've got massive surplus from all those donations. Not sure if the guy is accurate tho or if I understood it correctly

Wikipedia running ads will literally make the website worst because then wikipedia will be more concern in appeasing them then their original intention.

A dumb one.

Complaining that one of the biggest tools of free knowledge occasionally asks you to donate so it has no ads deserve to be called out and mocked.

You're complaining about people complaining about him complaining.
If you complain on a public forum, you're not entitled to have your opinion respected. If you can't defend your opinion, reconsider your issue.

I just personally don't see a problem with it. An ad-free website with high traffic has to stay up somehow without resorting to ads.

i don't think tc considers it a "problem"

i think he just thinks of it as a small annoyance. i cant imagine interpreting him as actually being some measurable degree of upset. i'd have to just not understand human beings at all to think that
