The few last times I went on Wikipedia, I was totally disgusted by their donation bar. The message is feeling off regarding how much money they have and how much they waste at useless executives.

But also I was really pissed off by the fact that they put multiple bubbles for that that completely cover the main page when you are on mobile and a lot in desktop.

Having to scroll that much is kind of worse than cookie popup that I can close in one click.

So I realized that it is the reason why I don't go to the site anymore. It's more relaxing to get the answer directly from Google, Kagi, or a llm. Sadly for Wikipedia, they are responsible for them own demise in my opinion. And it is a good think in the hope that they will realize something when the traffic will really go down. Despite my sadness on the topic regarding the initial goal of the encyclopedia that was laudable.
