Almost all streamers have some thirdparty "tip/donation" system set up (usually streamelements/streamlabs via paypal or stripe, sometimes also giving some TTS effects on stream) so that's still possible.


>streamelements/streamlabs

I tried donating via one of these a while ago and got stopped by a requirement to link a Twitch account. Could you give an example of a donation page on there without that requirement?


I'm pretty sure Twitch/YT handles the payment processing; StreamElements/StreamLabs only provides things like the TTS stuff


They run their own donations platform as far as I can tell, you can add various payment processors: https://streamlabs.com/donations
