Maybe they want

It is pretty much traditional for the fundraiser to cause controversy,
in fact. I know how Oleg feels. These days I ignore the ads, since I
don't see why I should give money well as time: and they are obviously
aimed at Wikipedia's readers, who outnumber the people seriously
involved with the site by a factor of 10,000 or more by now. I don't see
the banner any more: I don't remember dismissing it.
