There's someone whom I know that runs a couple of forums but never want to monetize any of them. To the best of my knowledge, he currently runs about 5 forums. Although, his social media accounts are monetized and he's earning more from them.Yes, obviously, I understand that one can do something as a hobby or pastime but generating income is always essential, if we talk about forums, even if it is minimally to pay the monthly value of the host and the domain, as a minimum, unless you want to spend money without anything in return.
Okay, but then he has a source of income to cover the expenses, he will know why he doesn't want to monetize it, I would monetize all the forums for what I have told you, at least to cover the expenses.There's someone whom I know that runs a couple of forums but never want to monetize any of them.
