The way I see it, it can't be an ethical site unless it's Free Software, not just open-source. Proprietary software is inherently unethical no matter what you're building.
Since you mention you are trying to build a team, and your focus is on ethics, I'd suggest making your company into a co-op. Each team member gets 1 share of the company on hire, they lose the share on quit/fire. Profits split evenly among all members. This is how all companies should be run. Capitalism is parasitic and unethical.
- mathix 4y agoI got your point, currently, most of the money (90%) goes to creators as the main goal is to pay them correctly for their work. 1% of platform income will be donated to "1% for the planet". And I am looking to integrate with fairmint.com to allow users/creators/random people to be a shareholder of Peach. It is still far from a co-op, the issue is that it is already pretty hard to get funding in my industry (at least from European VC/Angels as I'm based in France) so I can't imagine how hard it would become if we were a co-op. But I would've loved the idea.
