i think it's mostly for maintaining the servers, the actual article writers are random people on the internet, who probably recieve no money

If you can afford it, yes. If you use it, yes.
Maybe not each year. I mean, I donate a couple hundreds every few years because back in those days I certainly was not paying for a brand new printed encyclopedia every single year either ;)
No. The articles are written by volunteers and will not be improved by your donation.
In theory, your donation does keep the servers running, but they have plenty of money to do that, and most of the money nowadays goes to paying way too many employees many of whom don't do anything very useful or important.
You know how people will donate money to streamers if they do stupid stuff? If you can do that, you can do this.
Yes.
May I...... oh wait, not that.
Yes, yes you should donate.
They use most of the money for other activities. I’d look towards those, if you don’t like them don’t waste it.
I don't but I'm cheap
No.
Fuuuuck no.
