We all know the struggle of beloved services slowly going downhill. What’s one service, tool, or website you’ve been using for years that’s still great and hasn’t turned to crap?

They are one of the highest achievements of humanity, imho, that even make me feel proud to be a human.

It's hard not to try to support them.
The "spam" is for them to operate, not maximise their profits.

    It's not that simple and transparent actually. Wikipedia doesn't really need those donations to operate. They have money reserves for many years of expenses. I don't have a great source right now but this article looks decent. I didn't read the whole thing though.

    Gotcha, it's another anti-European (and anti-USA), anti-male, quasi-Marxist organization. This is what your donations to Wikipedia are going to. Wikipedia spends more money on left-wing causes than actually running an encyclopedia, and by a very long-shot.

    Well shit, I guess I'll start donating
