How would you make money as a mastodon instance? Pay to be a member? I don’t see the incentive for the average user to pay when it’s so easy to join a free instance (I’m considering the average person doesn’t know how to host their own).

You could probably trust that an instance you’re paying for will be more stable/less likely to randomly shut down.
