One way is to submit your funny stories to magazines or websites that accept such submissions. If they like your story, they will pay you for the rights to publish it. Some humor anthologies also pay for contributed stories.
There are humor - focused websites such as Cracked. They used to pay for good funny stories and articles.

You just need to check their submission guidelines carefully and see if your funny stories fit what they are looking for.
Yes, it is possible. There are some platforms like Vocal Media or Medium where you can earn money by writing and sharing stories, and some might consider reading stories as part of the research for creating their own. Also, some audiobook companies might pay you to read stories aloud for audiobook production.
You could also try self-publishing on popular platforms and monetize through subscription models or ads. But it takes a lot of marketing and building a reader base.

I don't think it's ethical. Ethical writing should aim to enlighten, educate, or at least provide positive entertainment. 'Dirty stories' usually contain sexually explicit or morally corrupt content. When someone is getting paid for this, it means they are commercializing something that is not in line with good taste and proper values. It can contribute to the spread of a seedy and unwholesome undercurrent in society.
Yes, you can get paid for Wattpad stories. Wattpad has programs like Wattpad Paid Stories, where readers can pay to access certain stories. Authors can earn money through this model. However, not all stories are eligible, and it depends on various factors such as the popularity and quality of the story, as well as meeting Wattpad's criteria for paid content.
