not sure about that, but I would be more inclined to help you if I see a button that says: buy me a coffeeSay you manage a website with decent traffic and you pin a message saying that the site is only possible through donations. Is this model ever better than just running ads or monetizing it in another way? Does anybody have experience with this model?

This makes a lot of sense. Your site was great in terms of the value it provided. I have visited that site too. If you did not get donations, it proves my point lol.In my experience no. I once had a website with thousands of users downloading my free SEO / IM software. Do you know how many donated over 2 years? 3 people.
People generally only hand over their money when they feel they have to or inorder to make more money.
