That's fair and its something we will have to get right over time. But its also tricky to find an ethical monetization model for social media.

You can sell your user's data to advertisers, or you can sell control or you can find some other channel.

We're e.g. playing with the idea to add a live podcasting feature that allows user's to comment and tip during a show a la Twitch.

Your latter idea is golden, in my opinion. Some of the podcasts I subscribe to regularly complain about their live cast options.

Agreed with the other user - if you can get livecast + tipping going that'll be your hook. Hosts will then have a specific reason to plug your platform. Best of luck, very promising!
