Then maybe that's as far as we should go?
Wikipedia makes it work.
You'd be surprised to hear that wikipedia's main income is from their major benefactors like amazon, google, and other organizations. Donations from individual people make up a small portion of their income.

Another example would be lichess.org , which manages to compete with chess.com (a comercial site) and even pays the main developer a salary. All based purely on donations.
I think it can definitely work even in the long run.
