If this is ad free and free to publish on, what’s the monetization strategy? What the benefit to using Nekoweb over publishing static content to S3/CloudFront?

This is the attitude that kills the net. Sends of the vibe "It's not on AWS so it must not be used, don't you dare". What the benefit of to using S3/CloudFront…
I guess the reason to ask about monetization is because you want to know how long a host is going to exist. Knowing how they plan to make money is a part of knowing the answer to that. As you say, it used to be good enough to have a space and accept there was an ad banner…but if no banner, then how?
With static, if it dies tomorrow you take the raw html files and move it elsewhere. Sure, it's an inconvenience, but it's the same as to why you don't use a second hand eBay server for commercial piece of kit. I learnt that the hard-way.

Many providers nowadays have existed long before S3, 1&1 (now know as ionos) are another.
So? My server has had just four years uptime that's not including all my other servers I've been hosting since the age of 13. I can service exactly the same as to what S3 can do. I just don't have £LOL fund where I can invest in providing back-end infrastructure like the corp can do.
I foresee it to likely continue to do so in to the future, I even have strategy plans for it when I pass away.
