Done. I was feeling bad for saying how often I used blender without paying a cent not 20 seconds earlier in this very thread. Then I saw your message. The fact that Apple Pay is an option made it take only another 20 seconds for me to throw some money at a great project.

  Thanks for the Apple pay hint. That was just what I needed to get me over the mental threshold. It's been literally two clicks.

    Same here. I don’t use blender very often. But it’s in my regular toolbox. Hopefully my $25 will help.

  One of my adopted "kids" I taught years ago picked this up at 17. He is 26, now. He "borrowed" the software to start (fair enough; it was a friend's license and not used at the same time), and didn't pay for a copy of Blender until he had a career path in mind and used Blender regularly. A monthly thing makes no sense; just letting hobbyists dabble until they are in a place to pay used to be a lot more normal. They ought to make the entry for paying a bit less heartburn-inducing, though.

    You must be thinking of some other software, Blender is free, and has been for a long time.

    You must be thinking about a different software.

    Are you confusing Blender with some other software? Blender is free and open source software. People donate to it because they 1) want to support the project and 2) have the money. If you don't have the money you just don't donate.

Donated. Never used Blender and most likely never will, but to see such professional software going on and facing the big corporations gives me faith.
