Regarding donations that the author mention, it is always tricky to balance between getting a stable revenue stream (monthly patronage) and simplicity for the user (one time payment so I don't have one more expense to keep track of). As a user/consumer I found that setting a monthly sponsorship budget helps. I spend a part of it monthly when available (ex through Patreon), then sum up what is left by the end of the year and do one time donations (for projects that work that way, ex Wikipedia or Thunderbird). I'm curious how others sponsor software or projects you care about?
