But presumably you also don't have the money to buy the advertised goods that they would make their money off of if it were ad-generated revenue (unless it were goods that you had to buy anyway, but I doubt Wikipedia would be making money off ads for ramen and heating oil).

- Yes cprncus. I wouldn't have the money to buy the advertised goods, but whether I buy them or not as long as Wikipedia is making money, it is okay with me.
