I mean, in the abstract you are both correct. In the real world however, we're talking (at best) an order of magnitude of thousands of dollars.
Let's generously assume the community can raise $5k (100 donations of $50). Let's also assume Rogean makes $180k/year ie. $15k/month (a rough but reasonable number for senior dev ops).
In other words, at best Rogean can get 1/3rd of one month's salary in exchange for
years of maintaining an entire server ... such a deal!

As I said before, Rogean has never been doing this for the money: he
has to have been doing it for the love of the game, and it's only
that, not $$$, that will keep him doing it.
