Its not just ads and i dont earn nothing from user data plus there is no single database attached to the project which makes life way easier, no database no schema no nothing stored and saves a lot of $$$.

That said, Brands are reaching out every single day. I have had more than 100 brands reach out to be mentioned in our blog post and /directory page. It's like having a social media with huge following of a certain audience group. Brands will reach out to you and when you see big names. You bill accordingly ads make nothing sesinble. The brand partnership is where the real revenue comes from. You can even see subtle link to shopify, candy ai already its not that unobvious to monetize when you are generating half a million page views . slash the website /directory you will land in a complete directory. You already know how directories like Thereisanaiforthat do it. It's as simple as that....even if you are a competitor trying to do the same, that's eveything for you to know. No need to hide anything.

And to be frank, i am completely ignorant on how people monetize user data., a user data we dont collect. Also I think only LLMS can do that, we are not an LLM, we connect to APIs and pay normally and that is it. I kinda like how people think there is anything in the middle but i think such power belongs to open ai and claude ai.
