In the first days of the pandemic, while trying to read info on my
cellphone, where I'm usually logged out, I was bombed first with that ugly
black thing signed by Katherine Maher, then in the next page I navigated
to, with a red message directed at "my friend from Portugal", both of them
asking money using the context of the pandemic. Which I found not only
annoying but on a bad taste.
It seems to only affect wiki.en, but it is still quite annoying, as I read
it often using the cellphone.
On the other hand, if WMF insists in that strategy, maybe it means it's
working somehow? But there must be less aggressive ways of reaching to the
people...
Best,
Paulo

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
locations. This quickly gets extremely annoying, and I find it unwise.
Create one banner, and stick with that. Several banners are simply way over
the top.
