Dono
A shortened form of donation, especially money sent to a livestreamer with an attached message.
“Thanks for the dono and the kind note.”
Dono can refer to the payment itself, the message, or the on-screen alert it triggers.
Livestream communities shortened donation to dono as tipping and text-to-speech donation systems became common.

Is a dono the same as a subscription?
No. A donation is generally a direct payment, while a subscription purchases recurring channel benefits.
Do platforms take a cut?
Fees depend on the platform and payment provider.
