I've got some standing orders of 1 or 2 euros every month for bigger projects like grapheneos and kde. And for small apps that I actively use, I try to donate 5 or 10 euros now and then. It's not much but I believe if everyone is doing their part we succeed in the long run

None.

Reason being simply financial responsibility - if something is free, then giving out money for it seems wasteful, like throwing money out of the window. You can argue it's not much, I got value from, it supports the developer, it's the moral thing to do, and you would probably be right. But this is simply not the priority perspective from which I am looking at it.
