How do we incorporate advertising/monetization that compensates us the creators into this?

Google Playground is a destination, currently, with no monetization. So any gamedev effort and ideas we contribute into it are collected by Google.

EDIT:

It is offered as "for funsies with your pals in America, bros!" and it looks a lot like it's almost a feature in the Google Play portfolio which makes me think this wasn't thought through fully.

So Google doing something strategic here which is not clear to me.

- are they training their AI?

- are they collecting user feedback for an eventual commercial launch?

- are they building hype?

Why did Google spend the money on this?
