I understand why that site always asks users for money. I don't blame them. They don't charge anything. And , do they have any advertisements at all? If they do , it's nothing compared to this site and youtube.

They are anti-ads
But the funny thing is, that when they are asking for donations, it's as annoying as any other ad

I don't blame them though. Is anything in this world really free?

They always act like their financial situation is dire in the donation banners, but the reality is that they have a ton of cash that they dont spend

I did years ago. Then I heard their finances were doing just fine.

Not even close. Many sites are much worse every day of the year, including everything owned by Fandom.

Yes, I've donated for the past few years. I enjoy the site and the fact that it has no ads. I also use it quite a bit. I think it's reasonable to donate a few bucks to support what they're doing.

I usually donate $2 once a year. That's it. They can do what they want with it, but everything I use Wiki for is worth $2 a year. (Also helps me avoid Fandom wikis)

Yes. Then my credit card got frozen because it was flagged as a suspicious transaction.
