What If You Got Paid for Your Data? Every day, we generate data—what we browse, buy, and watch. Companies sell this data for billions, but we get nothing. What if you owned your data and got paid when businesses used it? The Idea: A Data Marketplace for People You control what to share (fully anonymized). Businesses pay you directly instead of shady data brokers. You can revoke access anytime—your data, your rules. Why Now? Privacy laws are making old data collection methods obsolete. AI and businesses need real, high-quality data and will pay for it. People are realizing their data has value. This could be the future of fair, ethical data sharing. What do you think—could this work?
