Comment on If lemmy.world became the biggest in the fediverse with a user base that could rival Reddit. Would it become monetized?

Individual instances could theoretically monetize if their owners wished, they could show you ads, sell your data, sell you merch, sell the instance to a third party, all the same strategies as any other internet institution.

The Fediverse as a whole cannot, though, due to its decentralized ownership and development structure.
