data selling platform

what if people could sell their data to big corporations (like Mercor does for AI training data)? a fintech idea that monetizes personal data with user consent and agency rather than the current model where it is taken for free.

the spreadsheet clarifies the vision: "not in a scale ai kinda way, in a 'i upload my anonymized chat histories with ai' kinda way." more passive and low-skill than Mercor. for text, could have a thing that scrapes interactions; companies could pay like $1k for all of your data. listed in "best" top picks.

spreadsheet evaluation: excitement 9/10 (one of the highest). tech depth 4/10, labeled [WRONG FIT] ("mostly biz/legal/product, not deep tech").
