So how long until the Fediverse is monetized? - eviltoast

I’m fairly new and don’t 100% understand it yet, but instances are run on servers that require money. Are we heading towards seeing ads or subscriptions to raise funds instead of relying on donations to cover overhead?

Especially with the influx of new users. Hardware upgrades are needed.

    I’m wondering whether I would do good or bad if I host my own Lemmy instance for myself, to lower my impact on other instances.
