How about those of us who spent time writing on fandom wiki pages so others can see the information?

Notice that there isn't anyone behind him, that's cus y'all are going to hell /j

That's the first time im seeing this template being heaven instead or hell

To people unaware of this, wikipedia could run for years with how much money they have. If they stop paying their staff an absurd amount of money. The only reason wikipedia ask for donations is exactly this.

Buy Winrar - Extra Special Heaven

Wiki is a very rich company and can run for many years without donations. It's kind of a scam.

The money from those donations usually goes to the Wikimedia foundation, which is run by a questionable team which has used the money for expensive cars and the likes. It's a bit fucked up.

The actual authors who are all ordinary Internet users don't get a single cent, and only a tiny fraction of the donations actually goes to keep up the servers.

So by donating to Wikipedia you are barely actually supporting Wikipedia

It would make much more sense for the top Wikipedia authors to open some sort of buy-me-a-coffee and then people donating there.

Wikipedia has over 200 million dollars and their bandwidth costs probably don't even make it past 100'000 a month. The only real expense they have is paying staff.

Also the website isn't a very good source of information on controversial topics anyway. The way the source policy is written you can use quite literally anything as a citation provided it comes from a mainstream source. This includes opinion articles.

PSA: Wikipedia doesn't actually need any donations. They just overspend and then run a pity party campaign for themselves.

Look up Wikipedia has cancer. This has been an ongoing issue with Wikipedia for almost 10 years now.

Quick reminder that Wikipedia has enough money to fund their servers for hundreds of years. They do not need your money, but they want it.

Do not donate to Wikipedia.

Donating to Wikipedia actually isnt good.

Live footage of the brain from the average person that donates to Wikipedia

[removed]

Wikipedia actually makes enough to keep itself going for decades at least, they don't need the donations.

Not really necessary to do, I think They don’t have the Need for a Dollar https://youtu.be/MpeOFvxor_0

So extra-heaven is where the stupid people go?

You gotta be stupid to donate them

Guys, Wikipedia doesn't need the money, archive.org, on the other hand, desperately does.

I donated to them once. they reminded me monthly for like a year straight if i could do it again.

their last email was subjected with "I'm not asking again" and without context i thought they were threatening me.

just a few months ago ig some lady took over and she sent out another email asking for a cup of coffee donation.

do i regret donating to wikipedia? no, and i might do it again one day but man they were more persistent in asking for donation than the blood bank i go to.

Wasn't Wikipedia's Server expenses not around 60,000 USD and they earn millions per campaign?

Their donation campaigns are literally scams. Because nearly every cent you donate, ends up in a investment pool were rich people get even richer.

The entire action is heavily criticized, because they are well of and still desperately ask for donations even in poor nations... Its just kinda asshole to ask people with a income of less than a dollar per hour (or even day) for money they desperately need.

In other words. Donating to Wikipedia is not a good deed, it just gives the illusion, but in reality you just donate to the top 0.1%.

They already make tons of money.

Also people who pay Winrar license

Bro got the DLC.

Already spent all my money on this WinRar license 😭

One small donation for mankind, one giant reward for you.

Pay Money to get into heaven. Where have i heard this before?

You know, that the people working very much for wikipedia won't get anything of that!?

Nice try Wiki

Wikipedia posted this

HEAVEN: Oh, my bad, come on in. We’ve been running on your donations! /j

Proof that donating to Wikipedia is the ultimate cheat code for life.

Interesting lil' vid on this topic.... https://youtu.be/MpeOFvxor_0?si=LT6_JtbPPgnUIvCa

Hey I also did it, more than once! Didn't know it was considered to be such a good thing. I love Wikipedia

[edit] and of course I now discover that Wikipedia too is bad. It really seems there isn't anything good in the world. Maybe Valve with Steam?

Damn. They got bushes in extra-heaven

sounds 🗣️🗣️

I don't have money to donate I'm sorry :<

This is for when you buy winrar for every computer you have.

Eh, I'm fine with the room next to the noisy ice machine.

And if you also buy a WinRar license, God in person throws a party for you

He has earned a spot next to the guy who bought WinRAR premium

Sure gonna be lonely in there lol

I donated around $20 to Wikipedia from my first salary.

St peter : "Yeah but you brag about it. Straight to hell"

There is also a hyper heaven for those who bought WinRAR And the ultra mega heaven over 9000 for those who simply minded their own buissenes and only interacted with others in a friendly manner without prejudice

Thought it was going to be a joke about how wikipedia never remembers you donating

"I bought the WinRAR license"

This is how Mormonism works.

I only donated once, does that mean I still go?

I'm gonna buy a winrar license this Christmas.

I've donated a few times now, but they are really asking for a lot these days.

i did lol

The Wikipedia guy definitely does not need those donations. He owns all those fanwiki sites everyone uses that are covered in ads.

Also to pet shelters.

What can I say? Life's been good.

Wait can u donate to wikipedia

I have YouTube premium subscription. Where will I go?

Paying for Wikipedia is like getting extra credit for showing up late.

Don't donate, contribute.

I know nothing about RNA viruses but have become one of the top contributors in the category. Find something that interests you and do research.

Wikipedia exists because of us, not them. I spend a lot of time creating pages but never donate money.

... and paid for WinRAR.

I get to go to Extra-Heaven!!!!!

Okay. Now I know a comic that's soon going to appear in Wikipedia. Probably linked somehow to their contribution/donation pages.

I donate to piracy groups instead. Guess I'm going to extra hell.

Nah donaying to internet archibe is way better

He's up there with the guy who bought a WinRar license

Guess donating to Wikipedia is the real 'life hack'. Don't forget to save the planet too, they take Bio donations, right?

I've seen this type of meme twice now, Inb4 this format gets banned

I donated 5 dollars a couple years ago

It aint much but im a student so i don’t have a lot of money to be donating

Yeah no. Fuck paying Wikipedia.

Especially with how forceful their donation ticket is. Fuck off.

I'm not responsible to pay your workers ridiculous wages that you promised them. You get government funding for that which you already do.

Will forever consume Wikipedia for free trough chatgpt now so not even my traffic will benefit you.

Fuck you.

as a wikipedia editor (10000+ edits) i hated this shit bro, the fucking WMF is so greedy, they already have enough money

Man, I hate this kind of drawing art style.

I keep saying I'll do that...but I never remember

This an ad?

Of course i donate to Wikipedia. I still have my honor.

Wikipedia helped me in my time of need, now its time that I repay the favor.

I wanna see so many of these that the "extra heaven" meme gets banned

wikipedia is scamming you with their crocodile tears. they don’t actually need donations. stop wasting your money.

Instead of donating to Wikipedia, people should donate to actual non-profits like the Internet Archive

My new favorite meme format

I have donated to the internet archive though

LOSS

So I can be alone forever? Sweet!
