I have no issue with projects asking for donation, its all in how you do it though. Do not do it in a way that interferes with my work. Do not make nagware essentially. If your MSI installer has a donate button at the bottom for the entire install flow, cool. If your APT package has links at the end, cool. If your --about has it, cool if your --version has it cool, or in your Help->About menu option, cool. If you change the behavior of your program for "intermissions" that's just wrong and you should feel bad.
The other worse offender is projects like MinIO that removed over 100k lines, to push everyone towards "Pro" which costs 75 thousand a year. What? You had it in the previous version, 100% for free.
