    Devs do get donations but instances are not able to host advertisements. This means that if any hobbyists hosts a popular server instance they have to pay out of pocket to keep it going.

      Instances could in principle run on ad revenue but I rather doubt that will happen given that enough users are willing to donate. Injecting some code into the frontend you serve isn’t rocket science.
