Do you donate to FOSS projects?
Hello.
Although we pirate for various reasons (ideology, no money to spend on entertainment, etc.) I wanted to know if the community actually donates money to any FOSS project? Nearly all of us use a torrent client based on libtorrent (qBit, Transmission, Deluge) or an open source Usenet client such as SABnzbd to consume our pirated content, yet I wonder, how many people here donate to FOSS projects?
I donated 15 euro to KDE in the past, as well as 10 euro to qBittorrent to keep the projects alive. I think that software that respects it's users deserves to be rewarded for doing so. What is your opinion?

Hello open source dev here (though no very popular projects), even relatively small donations are morale boosts (e.g, $5, $10), which is kind of sad but yeah. If you can't do that, at least put effort into bug reports and use good manners.
