    Not regularly, but once or twice. I think a lot more people should donate to the internet archive though.

    About once a year I do something like $25. It’s about the time of year I do my NPR donation and anything else I have been procrastinating.

    I donated $5 to them once. I plan to donate more to them when I get the money.

        Which is actually where donating to them can help. They fund editathons, outreach efforts, events, and conferences, some of which explicitly focus on getting information into Wikipedia from underrepresented areas or people.

        Smells like an opportunity to me!

        If you go all in and work really hard, I bet you could make 10 of dollars. Maybe even 20 over time.

    Yes, I usually do so at the end-of-the-year funding drive they always have between Thanksgiving and Christmas. The amount generally varies based on how much I’ve used it each year and how generous I feel, but I do think it’s a useful service, and I don’t want to see them having to resort to showing advertisements in order to pay their bills.

          Being able to run a site without donations for years without any incoming donations is a great thing, but years isn’t really that long, and what would happen when that money ran out? There would be a last minute funding push for a company with a proven record of financial malpractice, who would want to donate to it then?

          You’re right that the editors don’t get money, but they do get a reputable unbiased platform that they can share their knowledge on, and for many people that’s more than enough. (Source: Wikipedia, Reddit, Lemmy)

          They fund interesting projects anyways. It’s not like all donations go into managers pockets. But yes it is something to keep in mind for sure.

      There’s always someone out there who will say that about anything. And there are always questionable people who would take advantage of others charity. Don’t let that stop you from trying to spread good.
