    What kind of personal data?

    If you give me $5, I will tell you if I went grocery shopping this week or not.

      Look at that, without us even providing you any money you’ve already admitted that you regularly grocery shop. That’s going in your file.

      That data is likely already being scraped for free unless you always pay cash and never use any sort of customer reward card.

        …and don’t carry a phone with you.

          The grocery stores in my area are also full of video cameras. If I wanted to go full-privacy, I would have to wear a mask to foil facial recognition, gloves, and generic clothes that I change out of after I leave so I can’t be tied to videos showing my face elsewhere.

          Then how do I get to the grocery store? Drive into the store parking lot with my license plates hanging out in the wind? Lol, no.

            You drive one car to the store and another from the store, on both trips you switch cars midway through the journey, and you never drive the same vehicle twice.

            And doing that, you’d be instantly recognisable due to the mask

    No deal. I’m always going to assume you’re planning to fuck me in some way that’s out of proportion to any gain I might make from the exchange.

        I hire some poor guy in India to create a fake sample digital identity which is sold to the ad companies. The Indian gets 3% of what I make.

        That’s how one plays Capitalism.

    More than I’m getting paid for my data now, that’s for damn sure

    $0 up-front, but you have to pay me 5% royalties every time you make money off of it.

    I’d make my data into a monthly subscription, 599.99$/month and I’d have a 20 page long “ECLA (End company license agreement)” that describes precisely where and how they’re allowed to use my data.

    If we’re talking passwords, that’s a no. If we’re talking enough personal data that you could use it for spear phishing, identity theft or targetted malvertising, that’s a no.

    Honestly, no matter how innocous the information you want is, I would be extremely suspicious why you’d want it. And I’m certainly not turning off my ad blocker either.

    Most people will never question Google or Meta’s data harvesting while using their apps, but I’m sure you know this already.

    The issue with offering me money directly for personal information is that I’d immediately nope away because that sounds like a scam or something malicious.

    I’ll charge you: $0 but every time it’s re sold you have to pay me $1

    It sorta hard to say without knowing what personal data I would be giving up. Account numbers and mothers maiden name. um. no.

    You give me 5 mill, and I give you my old email that doesn’t exist anymore.

    That’s about as fair as data collection is the other way around.
