Hi, We all know that one of the most of the apps and websites uses ads to earn money and provide content for free, and for this they use non private ad networks like Google Adsense/admob, unity ads, clicky etc.
I am searching for some privacy preserving/ open source ad networks, that allow websites to show ads and earn revenue. Paywalling the content is not an option for me unfortunately.

Not an expert.
But sponsorships or basic, static ads (like the one we had in newspapers), are the best privacy-wise.
Of course, it requires you to contact potential brands at first, which might or might not fit your purpose.

This is a problem. I wish there was some network, that could keep in touch with privacy preserving brands like proton for example and allow indie developers to signup and provide ads in their software. Doing this manually by going to every site and looking for an affiliate program, joining it and then either searching/creating banner ads myself would be way too hectic for someone.
I guess privacy community may even view above solution in negative light, but I think we do need a solution like this fr.
Searching on the we b gave me this AI summary
You can fact-check it or explore the options listed.
Edit: number 1 refer to AADS aads.com
Well that doesn’t suffice it. I feel like I should try making a service like that, but with no financial support, no knowledge of making/operating a company and legal consequences and the big hate from communities are big obstacles for me.
I can try. Maybe I’ll just do affiliate links. Thanks anyway for your time @Encounter5729
