Wikepedia is good
But archive.org is in more dire need of resources
English Wikipedia = 100GB (without the videos)
archive.org has like TERABYTES with some reports of it being in PETABYTES, storage is costly, also they need to backup the archive in case of drive failures
also they need bandwidth to let people access the stuff there
also they just gotten hacked a few months ago, security could cost money
And constantly facing lawsuit from big corporation, lawsuits definitely cost a lot of money
I feel like they need it more
What I’m saying is: if you have $55 to give, give $5 to wikipedia, $50 to archive.org
I’m pretty sure Wikipedia serves WAY WAY more content than archive.org
Space on disk isn’t everything
All of Wikipedia is on the Internet archive. Including history of articles and images
And how many people do you think uses either on a daily basis
Wikipedia is the 7# most visited website in the world
Archive.org is like #200
Anyone can edit Wikipedia but archive.org is a snapshot of history
You never use the wayback machine?
