I am more confident fandom will exist than “weirdgloop”, 10 years from now. Who is laying the bills for weirdgloop?

This does not say. From how it is written seems to be a one man show:

I would bet $100 against your prediction.

There are multiple game studios with their official wikis on weirdgloop's infra. Runescape players basically live off its wiki, it's that mandatory, and Jagex is well aware and OK with that.

How many are on fandom?

How many are trying desperately to leave it?

Very low percentage. Take a game of year like clair obscur. I will leave it as an exercise for you to see which wiki is biggest and most active.

They do ads on the RuneScape Wiki[1]. A couple of their wikis are also official wikis funded by game studios, such as Jagex for the RuneScape Wiki, Riot Games for Leagues, 2xko and Valorant, and Digital Extremes for Warframe.
