Wikipedia has more money than you would imagine, given the desperate, pleading nature of the site's advertisments.

    It’s simple. Who writes this article really Don’t know how a big entity (company/foundation) in the tech industry works.

      This article is actually based on a long standing page on Wikipedia made by a Wikipedia insider.

      And honestly, if that is your criticism of the article then I don’t know what to say, because if Wikipedia is the same as GAFAM then that is exactly their problem then.

        Well, sometimes is like GAFAM, specially with political issues. https://www.timesofisrael.com/wikipedia-founder-jimmy-wales-likes-israel-but-stays-neutral/ Where’s the Palestine wmf tag?.
