they already generate revenue in an agreeable way. they have two methods of paying them: Nitro and Server Boosts. they made $440 million dollars of revenue in 2020 off this. if your business can't find a way to be sustainable off of half a billion dollars then it probably doesn't deserve to continue existing.
