Absolutely, I've been using it since my teens and it's been an invaluable resource to me.

I have before, but I was crippled by a conservative pedo ran corporation called The Home Depot. So it's not in the budget currently. Hide yo kids if you go in there.
I did a few times but not in the recent years. I donβt know exactly why.
I'm cycling through multiple open source projects, the last one was signal. I tried to donate to Mozilla once, but they have the worst UX on their form and I'm not giving them my money AND my data.
I do, at least once a year (nothing excessive), mainly because I use the website occasionally. It's the same reason I bought 'reddit coins' or whatever that used to be. I just wanted to contribute to a useful service, especially given that there is so much garbage out there
Among other projects I belive is beneficial to the world. It's Libre software and provides free (CC-by-SA) knowledge without making you a product. I only made a one time 3$ donation but I might donate more in the future.
I've donated once, but never again after i found out how they hoard the money and use it for all kinds of politically motivated stuff.
Several times. I think now they have more than enough money so I haven't in a while.
You canβt donate to Wikipedia, only to wiki media, which spends it on all kinds of shit.
Yes. As a frequent user, I donate $10 from time to time. I also use my editing rights to fix mistakes when/if I see them.
Yes, I do 20USD/mo, I think, because I've taken up what I've been calling "Secular Tithing" in the last few years, and Wikimedia and its ventures were useful learning and research tools for my undergrad and highschool. Less so during my master's, but that's just how that goes.
Have just signed up for monthly donations (only Β£1.40)
Used to use them a lot as a student, so now that I can, I donate occasionally. I don't have a problem with them basically gaming the system like SHITPOSTING_ACCOUNT said in another comment, and I'm aware of it.
I give them Β£12/year.
Not anymore.
Whenever they put that "Dear reader, if everyone reading this sent $X, etc" notice at the top of an article, I send whatever the amount they mention in the notice is.
I've only ever noticed it like 5 times since I started doing that a bunch of years ago - not sure if that means they don't ask that often, or if it means I don't visit them often enough to always see it.
I do regularly. I used it a lot and I think knowledge should be free.
Yes because people are dumb enough as it is
I haven't donated since getting bothered with atrocious banner campaigns.
I donate 3$ monthly. Not an insane amount, but there's a lot of great information on there.
I haven't used it since I left school, even then sparingly and even back then it wasn't particularly good (I abadonned it completely once I went to uni because it wasn't helping at all). I'm surprised by how many people use it, but I guess it makes sense they speak up here.
I find Wikipedia invaluable. I've been donating $5/month for a number of years now.
I did until they stopped accepting my donation method. Fools
