I’m mind donating to the cause but monetization of clients is not the way.

I'm not sure how else you'll get more people involved, especially with hosting relays, since data costs a good bit to store and send.
Relay hosting & client products are two completely different things imo.
Paid to use relays are fine & should probably encourage more but should not be mandatory.
More people should be running their own relays (myself included).

Definitely counts
