No, after google wikipedia is the next page I visit most on a daily basis.

I say google should buy them and profit from ads, millions of them.

Add more eyeballs to their web properties.

Same here. In fact, if I'm looking for information on a specific subject I will most often go straight to Wikipedia as they have an article on what I'm looking for in 99% of the cases. Especially if I'm looking for just a general overview of a subject, even technical ones. If the subject is more general, or loosely defined (sentence, error message etc.) I use Google.

Wikipedia is stocked full of FOSS fundamentalists. Selling ads on Wikipedia, or trying to buy it (from who?) would only force some combination of a fork and a mass exodus.
