Ask HN: What's with Wikipedia's excessive banners?

Is it just me or do those banners appear much more often than before? I know you can dismiss them, but it's getting annoying.

Wikipedia could operate non the money it already has for years without any more fundraising.

The money from the donations goes to the Wikimedia Foundation, which uses it mostly for political purposes
