Considering the contributions that Wikipedia has made / continues to make to the availability of human knowledge (despite all of its lacks/failings, and they certainly exist!), I don't really have a problem with their Foundation no longer operating on a shoestring. At least it doesn't have billionaire CEO / shareholders or VCs looking for their 10x~100x return, and in that sense it's still far ahead of 99% of the "look how we're going to change the world" new tech companies chasing dollars out there.
Wikipedia's refusal to go ad-based and rake in Billions (while polluting the space) is the gold standard.
