Hypothetical scenario: I am an advertiser and I want your personal data. How much cold hard cash would I have to offer you for you to willingly give it to me?

    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.

    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.

      That’s kind of a weak answer. The data 's privacy might be worth much more to you than i the data itself is worth to the advertiser. Remember the advertiser won’t keep it private after they get it.

        I assume the marginal worth of one person’s data is nothing. It’s when you have lots of people’s data that it gets valuable.

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

    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.

    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.
