I have donated in the past, but then there were wild accusations, people saying it's not needed, it's to fund other things, and so on and so forth.

Yesterday I got the popup begging for a couple of euros, so what's the status? Should I donate or is it a waste of time and money?

Cheers

Edit: Thanks for all the insightful posts! I'm jobless at the moment so just ten bucks this time:

Usually its the far right or tankies that hate wikipedia, it seems pretty neutral for the most part.

    I was hearing that Wikipedia makes more than enough money from things outside of donations that it seems scammy to ask for donations the way they do from leftists before Trump's first term.
