I agree, but wouldn't you think it's far more likely that they would charge small amounts from every user AND have an ad-funded business?
This is why I am not holding my hopes up for Twitter, but I do believe that the Fediverse can work because we can have many different small service providers that would all compete for its customers, and not having ads would be definitely an advantage.
