For our instance, the users have in fact donated and keep us running. I'm not sure why you'd think users are unwilling to donate.

Because I've regularly got in arguments with people who refuse to donate.

The ratio of leachers to seeders in torrents is a similar issue - and seeding is practically free.

Asking $12/yr for software seems like pulling teeth to some.

That may be your problem. We don't ask for anything specific. We simply make a post with how much the service costs and how much users have donated. Users are smart and can take things from there.
