won’t literally any charity spend money somewhere you wouldn’t necessarily agree with? most of the time you simply wouldn’t know.

Well, if you donate to a charity that is supposed to do X, and along the way said charity tells the whole world that "by the way, out of every 100 dollars that you donate to us, we'll give 5, maybe 10 dollars, to causes that you absolutely can't stand", you'll only continue donating to this charity if you are a self hating imbecile.

It's part of the Wikipedia mission. It hasn't been kept secret. It's been well-known for a long time. [1]

Talk about biting the hand that feeds you.

How much money have you given to them so far?

I live in a third world country, so the level of my donations may not compare to the average HN user, but I used to pledge around 5 dollars per year. In the last couple of years to tell you the truth I hadn't donated since I started getting sick of those stupid banners, and now I think it's good that I did not participated in their shennanigans.

Oh no worries, I was just wondering how much I could increase my donation to counter everyone claiming that they'll stop donating in this thread.

I donate $1,000/yr and I’m stopping due to this

I see what you're doing and I'm here for it
