Given I've got BC for a while, I wouldn't have trouble single-handedly upkeeping the server, I make 9x that much each month. And considering that roblox takes a 90% cut in sales and donations, it'd end up being "each person would have to pay a 'small' fee of 70 robux (more than enough to host your own server) each month" if we were to use the other system anyway.

Funding aside, I think the issue with private servers is that since there's not many people who can join, and those who can join are spread between different timezones and may not want to play Survival 303 in every hour of their free time anyway; meaning chances are nobody will be on. Playing alone is boring, so players join a public server, meaning the private server is empty and nobody joins. This would be amplified further with the fact that some of us are on the opposite side of the world from each other, and many wikians don't play 303 all too actively anyway.
