>- Put ads on the site

I don't think this is immoral. Ads are a perfectly legitimate business model.

This feels like a situation where the ads could be highly targeted. Highly relevant ads can be pretty helpful.

It gives a bad incentive to the operator to exaggerate baldness risk. "Early stages of balding buy this hair product!" Probably sells more product than "you're perfectly fine, congrats".

I agree it's not unethical to honestly sell ads though.

Affiliate links for fancy hair care products if it doesn't come up balding?

Affiliate links are fine too as long as they're disclosed as such.
