uBlock Origin really needs to find a way to block that so my Wikipedia experience isn't ruined by this sob story WOT.
You can easily use unlock origin to block it if it bothers you that much

Agreed-- all the ones that fandom owns are particularly awful, even with adblockers doing their best.

Fandom has broken the shit out of the yugioh wiki and many wiki in general. So many basic things gone or bugged and the fucking ads.

But how will you know who's joining Spiderman?

As a general rule, if a video starts appearing on every page, it's a pretty good sign a site is in decline. If the video has absolutely nothing to do at all with the rest of the content on the page, you'll know for sure.

I know what you mean, but some of the videogame ones are just so useful that I try to close all the annoying vids as fast as I can.

I mean it's that or go the wiki fandom way and plug intrusive annoying ads. Plus if wikipedia is ran by ads, they would be at the mercy of their sponsors which would compromise what wikipedia is all about.

They ask for donations every year. A lot of ongoing expenses there.

This. They do it every year.

As someone who follows the development of MediaWiki their operational overhead is massive and that's on top of what they pay their engineers and other staff.

What are their costs for their operations? And what do they pay their staff?
