      Probably the most important part of that page is that Wikipedia asks people for donations when they already have enough money to exist perpetually. All the money people donate simply goes to executives’ salaries.

      WMF’s salary costs have risen from $7 million in 2010/11 to $88 million in 2021/22. Yet, only 2% of the raised money goes towards hosting costs, and the remuneration for the hard-working contributors to Wikipedia remains the same: zero.
