I know there’s donations and the owners can use their own money, but there’s a limit. I doubt a platform with hundreds of thousands of daily users can survive with only donations.

What? Did you mean 40Gbps for less than 10 dollars/mo? Or did you mean 40GB of traffic total monthly? Huh?

Sorry it was 20 TB traffic per month for less than 10 dollars per month. Have a look here at options:

Sure, that’s fair, but it’s also in a region where typical egress costs are cheap anyways. It’ll be harder to find something like this in say, the SEA or OC regions.
