Mmmmm, I could see paying a small amount (no more than $5 monthly) for a service like this. However, how would I be able to verify with such a media outlet that they aren't collecting and storing my information? That would be a huge thing for many people I'm sure. You'd have to have a way for people to verify the privacy.
Transparency through open source app and end-to-end encrypted data on decentralised storage, is what we are thinking.
Is it your assumption or you're working together with OP (@Stevieb777)?
Working together
Would you be prepared for example to pay £1/$1/1euro per month
If there's a central party to pay to, I'm not so convinced it's decentralized. It instantly makes me think it's only using "decentralized" as a buzz word.
We are considering using our "smart data access" concept as a private data layer for decentralised applications.
https://datona-lib.readthedocs.io/en/latest/what.html The data layer is decentralised not in the sense of a p2p network but in the sense that anyone can deploy a data server and the user can choose which they use (or deploy their own). If the user is technical enough they could use their own crypto and server. For others the payment would go to whichever datona-enabled data service they use and whichever blockchain proxy service they use to publish and pay for transactions on their behalf.
