Wikipedia shall get their money from google and other big companies that use the database. There are many more projects that can use money much better

Good to know. I was thinking of donating but I’ll give to the internet archive instead.

Nothing wrong with donating to Wiki but donating to Internet Archive would be better IMO: They need it more.

I'm skeptical of Wikipedia's genuine need for money after reading this.

I trust Archive.org a lot more.

I'd recommend donating to your national Wikimedia chapter if you aren't in the US. They're not funded by megacorps and they often struggle financially, and they're the ones doing a lot of work on the ground.
