The Cost of Privacy: are privacy-first business models sustainable?

Most apps don t make money from subscriptions. They make money from you. Your data browsing history, app usage, personal behaviour is worth cold, hard cash.

We ran the numbers for our app, Magic Lasso Adblock, and here s what we found:

  • Current Subscription revenue per user: $25.50/year

  • Potential Data broker revenue per user: $30+/year

  • Meaning: we could more than double our profit margins overnight by selling user data.

There’s a chance to earn $1M, $500K, or $250K. Company X came up with a project offer.

This week, Grok launched its video model.

Along with it, they kicked off a campaign to promote this service.

Are you sure most existing solutions really solve someone’s problem well? 👀

1. Guys, I ve been noticing more and more often in the comments something along these lines: This problem was solved many years ago, here s a solution I found on Google in 1 minute .

2. Yes, most often, a problem you see on ProblemHunt at first glance seems to be already solved. And I fell into this trap myself. For example, for one of the problems on PH that I wanted to solve, I found at least three solutions in my search, one of which was created as much as 4 years ago. BUT after a call with the person experiencing the problem, it turned out that the existing products solved it at most 20 30%, and a lot still needed to be improved.
