I think the parent might have meant something slightly different - that by donating, they are showing the author that their work has actual value to other people, and that motivates them to continue.
That's my take, anyway: a social rather than fiscal incentive.
- tylerhou 8y agoThe developer could ask people to tell him/her when they donate (on the developer's behalf) to a charity the developer suggests. This would have the same effect as showing the developer that her/his work has value.
