So how long until the Fediverse is monetized?

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.

Oh shit was I the ad the whole time??

Course not, if you were, i'd be able to tell, since i'm using the new Rayban® Aviators© Digital edition, now with poser ID embeded and polarized lenses with Spez protection.

Dude! They looked so sick when I saw them in your profile pic while eating my Magic Spoon laughably expensive super duper healthy cereal!

I would have paid for spez protection. But it wasn’t available so I came to Lemmy lol
