I remember a few years ago Bitcoin donations were everywhere on forums blogs and even small personal projects it was a way for people to show appreciation and support without the need for complex payment systems lately I do not see it happening as much maybe fees or market changes have played a role or maybe people are just using other methods I personally still believe in the idea of community support and I think even small contributions can motivate people to keep creating and sharing valuable content for everyone
The fees for Bitcoin transactions are still the same, and there is not that many problems at all. And as for the forum, this might not be the forum; it's not needed anymore. I still see them around, and maybe you just don't see them anymore and haven't come across any of them. This kind of thing is still around, and remember about the wars, past pandemic and other global events that have just happened? It had been in the news that the donation for the cause to help people affected by those can be donated through Bitcoin. So, the method is still there and maybe it's just so happen that you've missed the usual websites that asks for it.
