while i agree, in most cases I personally believe the monetization should start at the beginning. If it's going to be ad supported, adding that later will annoy users for example.

Some of the other things you mentioned I don't think would hinder growth at all. i.e. maybe in app purchase for the private section or sponsored challenges etc. It just seems to me too many good services get shut down because people don't think about how it is going to be profitable.
