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.

    if any corporation tries to get in on it, you can count on them trying to monetize it

      considering the offers facebook were making, it wouldn’t be very surprising if some instances caved. It’s a good thing that anyone can make their own instance for that reason.
