Relays are already charging a bit, Snort at least has a supporters badge thing going on. There are a ton of great business models, but I think folks aren't focusing on it much right now because the network isn't big enough — product & growth first, then monetization.

I feel like there’s too much focus on trying to monetise when a lot of basic stuff is broken. Practically nobody makes money running fedi instances, and there are a lot more ppl there compared to nostr.

Not to mention how “zapvertisements” are so off putting. A lot of decisions are being made that are going to drive even more ppl away.
