You just convinced me to donate. ;) ShaderToy is free. I'll have to donate for a while just to cover the value I've already gotten from it, and it is a gold mine of share & remix techniques. It seems a bit cynical to call donating to ShaderToy "blindly giving some loose group money", and to just assume the money would be wasted. Since ShaderToy exists, and since it is pretty awesome, and since I know who made it, and since they have a Patreon account asking for money, I assume it will be used towards making more of the awesomeness they already made, improving the experience of the site, and I assume the money won't go to waste, the potential for that seems fairly low to me. Anyway, if it's not your thing, definitely don't use it and don't donate. But do have a happy new year, Cheers!
