I know of a real-life example from a friend who makes about $1000 every month in donations on his Ark server. He offers in-game benefits like resource drops and boosts for real money. The more you donate, the easier time you have on the server. If you have a big enough server, or enough server instances running, and enough people donating, you can get a nice chunk of spending money. He also gets his wife to post selfies on the discord and plays with the players on the server, and they simp out and donate tons just to play with her. It's kind of genius honestly, and hilarious that people will actually spend money on this stuff.

Ok, this is something i'm definitely going to have to look into, sounds like it wouldn't be successful to me unless I have some type of social influence which sadly I am lacking lol

It can be rather demanding.

Do you have the bandwidth to accommodate hosting?

oh no, I have very basic set ups. Thats why i'm looking into different ways to make money on the side with what I have.

I'm trying to learn how to use Kali along with the tools so I can do some bug hunting on the side since it seems like that's more of a better approach. Not easy, or simple, but better.

If there's a game you like, this is definitely a good idea. I don't think I'd recommend doing it just for the money, though.

For sure, I'm just trying to come up with all the different things that are possible, maybe get some unexpected inspiration and come up with something completely new lol
