Making it tied to a news post might work accounting-wise (if we could automate pushing it to Patreon) but then I'd have to write news posts on a consistent basis. ;) (I love having written a news post and I love hearing from everybody, but good grief do I hate the process of actually writing them; it's really hard to hit the right balance for the site's voice without tipping too far into "corporate drone" or "tryhard". This one took me about 12 hours over two days.) We used to do weekly news posts when we were in open beta, and then it slipped to biweekly because of how much time it took, and then it slipped to monthly, and then bimonthly, and then there was that time when I didn't post a news post during like the entirety of 2016 because 2016 was a very bad year and I pretty much spent the whole year desperately scraping for time to handle the absolute urgent DW stuff while otherwise lying in bed and hoping this was the right meds adjustment...
(Dreamwidth: where your site owners are such real people that they will happily admit when the brainweasels or body fuckery wins!)
Our usual suggestion for people who want to send us "you rock!" money is to hit up the Circle Gifts or Gift A Random User options.
