@atomicpoet I don't understand the part with monetizing an audience, at least in comparison with #Twitter: Twitter doesn't bring in many visits, it's importance lies in the connections, in the fact that everyone is there and its speed. #Mastodon can replicate all that, but the heavy-users need to migrate.
And analytics is possible, I think not less helpful than on Twitter:
