This is how Wikipedia is lying to you...

Every year Wikipedia holds a donation fundraiser, aiming to raise money for Wikipedia and it's sister projects. Many people believe Wikipedia is in dire need of money to keep the project running. However, this is not true on many grounds. Should you donate to Wikipedia? Is Wikipedia rich?

This video aims to showcase why and how that's not true, so keep watching...
This is not a jab at Wikipedia itself, Wikipedia is an amazing resource, it's more just an informational video so you know where your money goes if you do choose to donate to them.
