i don't defend targeted ads since they are bad (i use uBlock)

but what monetization system is a bit more ethical than targeted ads but can last unlike donations

how would you solve that issue

My Opinionwell it is make that there are version which you own but if you pay for 1 the one after it you pay again for that new version but with a small discount

Donations, or if that doesn't end up working in the long run (even though it is definitely working as far as I can tell because we have numerous instances and platforms already), I guess you could switch to a subscription model, but I think that'd put a lot of people off.
