        I give every year when they send out that ad. “If everyone gives the same as , we’d be done in an hour”

            Having read through that, to me it sounds like the WMF have ‘enough’ money for 12-18 months ahead - which doesn’t sound unreasonable.

            Though I do agree the emotional blackmail I’ve experienced in the past from their fundraising ads would very much suggest otherwise.

              Thats a good point, I would definitely give again if there was any sign they were actually in financial hardship.

              In the end, the amount i donated more than offsets (likely by 100x) the amount of traffic i’ve generated.
