-People don't hear "Social network platform" and think consciously "I volunteer to be a commodity for corporate meta data collection and sales."

I agree but most people don't yet hear of nostr yet at all either. They aren't aware of a choice yet. I think it will become a common choice for users to decide what kind of online community they want to be a part of where users will make all kinds of choices about their platform (does it have DVMs or does it use algo relays or none at all, does it have ads, does it have ads with rewards, does it have none at all, etc)

- If I ask literally anyone "What is Twitter/X? What is Facebook?" They will never say "A place for people to volunteer personal data and be advertised to."

I think if you ask them if they know those services are listening to them they'd very clearly say yes and tell a story to you about talking to cousin Jimmy about a new pair of shoes then seeing ads. They don't yet have vernacular for it but they understand its happening and they currently consider that social media. This is part of the change that will happen. I bet they will be happy to continue seeing advertisements if it means they earn some sats for looking at it while at the same time rewarding the creators they engage with.

- The novelty of asking users if they consent to advertising has been tried and fails due to a lack of incentive or those who do not use the service in it's intended way and exploit the system which devalues the service for the apps REAL customer, the Advertiser.

This hasn't been tried on nostr to my knowledge. Nostr changes the distribution network drastically where it redefines stakeholders to a totally different setup of interests and abilities. The user is now the real customer. Advertisers, algos and DVMs are there to cater to them through the service providers that the user chooses to engage with. They aren't locked slaves on nostr, they're the real customers now.
