They don't always make it easy though. I'm not signing up for Patreon just to donate a one time amount.

What ways do you recommend?

I like Patreon because I trust it and it provides a subscription-like service. And having a way to communicate and engage is really nice.

But the "buy me a coffee" and the direct PayPal, I'm rarely getting any kudos.

You can try librepay

Direct PayPal is my preference, but I know PayPal does dumb things with people's money sometimes.

This is not for everyone, but I like when they post their crypto wallet address, because then I can send them money anonymously (especially if it's Monero), it can be a one time donation and I don't have to create an account on some website.

I know, it's a real pain sometimes.
