Other things monetized to great success:

- facebook (soooo much better with 80% ads)

- google search (soooo much better with an entire first page of ads)

- app stores (I love how they "curate" and "enforce standards")

- insulin (mmmm, monopolize a drug whose manufacture is open and charge 10x for that, that's the free market)

- college tuition and education (even nonprofits can be completely ruined by MBAs)

- military/defense

Well, the list goes on.

Gotta love those MBAs with their excel spreadsheets and strike price stock options.
