I don't understand people moaning about "why don't they show us ads already". I am using wikipedia a lot and I think I got a lot of value from it. Admittedly I was using it more as a student, but now I can afford to give something back for that. I have no problem with donating.

We have ads everywhere, some are scammy some are annoying, advertising companies track us with them. Why would you want to put them on wikipedia when you can prevent that by just sending a couple of bucks?

I think those who actively engage in these kinds of discussions already have an ad blocker

I guess because most people don't care about some ads left or right (not Bonzi buddy or full-screen 'click to continue', just Adword style).
