Don't trust the video but do your own research.
One year of donations is enough to run wiki for hundreds of years.
They get hundreds of millions in donations, 99% of that it just enriches the owners, not to run the site

Stupid knee jerk “no you” response that doesn’t make the least bit of sense, where YouTube is obviously a major engine of capitalism, owned by one of the richest most capitalistic companies in the world, where everything in how YouTube operates is governed by their capitalistic principles.
How do you figure in any way the same is true for Wikipedia which is a non profit?!?!
Wikipedia is backed by nothing but donations, and the youtube video is sponsored by the stock market. If anything, wikipedia is backed by the engines of socialism.
Did you do any research beyond watching this youtube video? Because everyone else’s research seems to discredit it.

is that the result of your “do your own research”? Because it took me less then 5 minutes to conclude that this is totally false.
63% of their operation costs are salaries of their 700 employees.
So your claim is pure bullshit.
