Ok - the next time Wikipedia asks for a donation, I'll give it twice as much. Noted.

This take is so incredibly bad. It's good that they're not struggling financially - and people stopping to donate is a great way to change that. They aren't struggling, until they are. I don't want to live in a world where the foundation behind Wikipedia struggles with financing, so continuing to donate is the only sane way forward.

Donate to archive.org instead. Wikipedia doesn’t need your money; they’ll get it from pestering people. If they’re ever under-supported one year, they’ll let you know that too

I think they would see government and big internet company support coming in if they were ever truly financially struggling.

I mean I would't be surprised if one of the big cloud provider offers them free hosting; it'd be a great goodwill move, and cloud providers are competing HARD with each other.
