It may be important to distinguish between Fediverse implementations for profit and the instances for nonprofit. A basic requirement to do marketing well.

It comes down to organising and doing the marketing. I understand there are additional difficulties due to the decentralised Fediverse. It seems logical to me that the money flows from the users to the administrators and then to the dev people. If Signal can be successful with crowdfunding, so can Mastodon, for example. Since the Fediverse has no business model on making profit, there is also no return on invested capital.
