Apart from what you have already said, there is not a great way I think.
Perhaps one way is that if instead of harvesting user data for advertising profiles, you could instead sell anonymised user data for things like machine learning purposes. For example if you base your platform around music, you could provide a dataset of favourite bands split across various demographics.
- have_faith 8y agoAnonymised data can be de-anonymised, but more importantly I want the trust of the users with handling their information. If I have to explain to people that I'm selling their data but with caveats then I've already lost that trust. I should mention that the social network I'm planning has a focus on being ethical, slow, meaningful, anti dark patterns etc which is why ad monetisation feels like it won't work. The site is explicitly being designed to not encourage people to waste or spend too much time on it which makes ads less effective just from a pragmatic perspective.
