The cost will be spread out, and people can monetize how they see fit. I'm wondering if there will be additional benefits you can add to your instance for a charge that people might be willing to pay.
I'm considering offering an Element server and maybe email on mine with a shared username for each service. That's going to take time to setup, though.
We must prove that it's valued and let the monetization come later. I'm working on this in my spare time. Once I can grow, maybe I can put more effort into it. I think it'll be a lot of people like me for a while financing it out of pocket.
