from the source i can only assume costs spiralled since they first published the cables.
if that is how much a sight needs then it must surely mean that's how much a site spends, (and maybe keeps a little in reserve for other costs) a question that arises has to be; how much has the site been pending this last year?
i suppose the real question is how much do the top site collect each year (not just wiki) from the donations buttons and other revenue generators.
i do know some wikis have headers requesting donates.
and i have donated a small amounts to wiki commons and internet archive(great sites that i believe do great work)
but how much do they generate. i definitely don't begrudge the donate button; a feature which we can all refuse to use should we wish to do so. is there any kid of regulation that says sites should post how much the make from donations, or is it all kept secret?
tpb i have to say has never had any of my cash though it has and always will have my support. and again the team there deserve to whatever they make. i may donate a small amount in the future but i honestly doubt it (and i don't know why) i have nothing but admiration fro the workers who toil behind the scenes for free and keep it and other sights running.
