First, kudos on thinking beyond advertising. Depending on the Terms, analytics of your data might be valuable. What data do you have, what could be learned from it, and who would pay for that knowledge? Depending on user stickiness, you could move to a paid model. And depending on your definition of "monetize" this wouldn't need to be prohibitive, e.g. $1 per year, or $1 for lifetime/device membership. Of course, we're all spoiled by "free" services at the moment, so obvious caveats apply. If you own the platform and the code, could you make a corporate or white-labelled version? Would Megacorp pay for a branded version for their 1000s of users? Could you exit and sell to Megacorp? Are you screwing over your users if you do this? Is there some sort of halfway-house alternative, e.g. a big player in a relevant field who would pay you to continue development and support? See recent HN conversations about monetising open-source projects for discussions about this sort of model (whether yours is open-source or not these conversations might still be relevant). Could your users monetise their own content, and pay you a slice, kinda like substack et al?
