Dear all,
In the context of this discussion, I think it might be appropriate to
share the following. A few days ago I had a brief conversation with a
(non-Wikipedian) user on social media regarding a fundraising banner
they were seeing. In their case they had an additional concern with the

I don't see a particular issue with requesting totally voluntary donations.
It's not like we're putting up a paywall, so if someone can't afford it

Often I surf Wikipedia without being logged in, and so I did right now. I
got the usual banners, but this time they popped up repeatedly in several
