Not even remotely good English..the quote said "monetize that audience". We're 
dealing with morons, people.

mon·e·tize  (mn-tz, mn-)
tr.v. mon·e·tized, mon·e·tiz·ing, mon·e·tiz·es
1. To establish as legal tender.
2. To coin (money).
3. To convert (government debt) from securities into currency that can be used 
to purchase goods and services.
