Exactly why RealPeople.io (https://realpeople.io) was created. The business model of using targeted advertising needs to go away. With ads, platforms have the incentive to sell user data and keep users online as much as possible to maximize ad impressions. AI creates and uses phycological profiles of users and not only shows them targets ads but decides who sees what.

We need to support social media that use paid subscriptions with no ads. And we need to support platforms that make it core to their offering that they are not going to share user data, and which have a business model that will align with that.

There is a lot of discussion around this nowadays which is good, but it's time for people to actually take action and be leader and make the change themselves.

I like this idea. But... you really need to put up more content or content preview so users know what they are getting before signing up.
