One issue could be that the $ argument won't work with 99% of users b/c they don't generate enough traffic (i.e. who really cares about, say, $5/month of revenue).
One way to solve it could be to pool the revenue and to position Tsu like this: "90% of revenue goes to a good cause of your choice (climate, humanitarian, etc.), not to 1 huge corporation"
Edit: Every profile would then get a "I Donated $x today" badge (visible publicly) as a feel-good engine. You could then convert the amount to real things like "I paid 2 meals in a 3rd World country today" or "planted 3 trees", depending on your choice of the cause.
I don't care about $5 / month, but a lot of users would.
But think about content creators (musicians, artists, athletes, etc.) even with a small fan base, they get rewarded few hundred dolla per month. If they stick to the concept, then the regular poor users will follow them.

Thats $60 a year? A nice discount on most gadgets. Am I wrong?
I think many would care about $5/month, it certainly is better than nothing, but there is no way that the average user will get even one tenth of that per month.
