I'd definitly like to see how you'd plan to montize this and would love to see a non-ad driven social media. With that said - I think that's an uphill battle - maybe instead we should go to a government level and encourage policy that gives our data real worth, and allows us to see the return of said worth.

Andrew yang for one, is trying to do just that: wired.com/story/opinion-andrew-yan...

I hadn't seen what Andrew Yang is doing, but I'm not sure something like that will ever go through. It's like the Right to Repair bills: they make sense, but there's too many ways around it. I'm not confident enough in lawmakers to really have any hope they might do something. Meanwhile, I think changing some things like personal usage, using VPNs, alternative search engines and social platforms is the way to go.
