Wikipedia could survive with donation. If AdBlocker is detected, website should prompt for donation (like Wikipedia) until a certain yearly amount is reach.
Personally, I don't feel like the payments should be called donations. It's like saying "please give us money out of the kindness of your heart or else we'll die" instead of "please acknowledge the value of the content you consumed so we can create more".
Wikipedia's donation banners last year were more intrusive than paid ads on a lot of sites.
