From the sounds of it, they want to monetize their data.
Wont that 100 dollars of data be worth exponentially more if companies had to pay us for collecting it?
It's a lot easier to sell user data than to ask users for money.
There are probably more profitable ways to use that data against users rather than for them.
It’s ads and shaking down companies to subscribe. Their data is likely to be very valuable.
Idk, but assume they could also make a good buck from selling the data they collect?
No, it’s too valuable. They sell services using the data such as Google ads.
You could be right but the businessmodel of most of these companies is that you pay with your data.
How can they make money off your data if they don't have it?They just want data. They no longer want to make people's lives easier.
Datamining the users and then selling the data. Also probably have some governments paying them to spy on certain users.
