Default get donations?

As a coder/designer, did you ever get any donations for your work here?

there is already a discussion here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=135404 and i don't think this question have to be asked in public... unfair and not politically correct.

Just because you have the option to accept donations you shouldn't expect to receive any donations because when you post here your posting/supporting your product on a free basis.

If the real question is why aren't I receiving enough donations then you will have to build on a good reputation, release your products so people will know your product(s) are sound. Look at posting your products here as your portfolio and nothing else and at the same time expecting nothing (financially speaking) in return.

As someone who buys add-ons for my site, I do not mind paying a developer a fee for their work.

Their is nothing unfair or unethical about being rewarded for your labor.
