Not only could it _not_ be more fun, but it might actually suck all the existing fun out of it completely. But the OP will know better about that!
As for your hypothesis: I can only speak for myself, but I just don't want to ruin my hobby by monetizing it. Plus, I've spent enough time with the community to know that as soon as money gets involved, people are suddenly not so kind anymore. I just like it more when people are kind and polite to each other and treat each other with respect...
