Google Reader didn't have ads. I've seen guesses that Google didn't want to risk upsetting media producers by displaying ads with their content.

There used to be adsense for RSS. Google discontinued it sometime last year I think.

It was completely voluntary and managed by the producer through their AdSense account.
