Does anyone know why this is happening? I just assumed Reddit, Youtube, Stackoverflow, etc were doing it because they were being paid by the DNC or various political action groups. But Wikipedia is a non-profit with a good chunk of money in reserve.

It's quite well known that many non-profits "with a good chunk of money in reserve" end up being deeply politicized in weird and bizarre ways, due to these institutions lacking any kind of incentives or outside direction that might keep them transparently focused on their existing goals. So if you're assuming that even for-profit businesses like Reddit, YT, SO might be acting politically, I'm not sure why we wouldn't expect the same from Wiki.
