      They have a budget spent on advertising on wikipedia itself, plus the cost of the emails they send out asking for donations.

        Does it even count if you’re advertising on your own platform? If I’m able to see the “ads” in the first place, I’m already using it.

        I also wouldn’t exactly call a donation drive “advertising” either. They’re not trying to onboard more users to the service, they’re nagging people who already use the service to give them money. Which is itself leaning a bit on the wall of what is and isn’t “free”.
