    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.

    Some percentage of the value it provides you.

      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.

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

    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.

    The real answer is close to free, provide people justification for giving you that data, and a little bit of barrier to entry to something they’re already mentally invested in. And they’ll give up their data. They shouldn’t but they do

      “Personal data” is something very abstract and most people have little to no idea what it means to give it away. Nowadays it’s getting harder and harder to limit what’s being shared so even those that have a vague understanding of what it means may not care too much.

      I don’t have social media accounts and I’ve been using VPNs nonstop for the last 10 years. Degoogled, Firefox, uBlock Origin, PiHole, etc. I got used to this, but it’s a balancing act. I don’t self host. I’m forced to use Windows at work. Credit card for groceries and stuff.

      It’s incredibly weird to think how easy it is to create a behavior profile of the average joe. It’s unsettling to imagine companies like Meta and Google have decade’s worth of data on people.

      As you said, they shouldn’t share that, but they do. And in places with no way to have that data “erased”, some people will have an unfathomable amount of information about them harvested throughout their whole life.

      Even if that data is never used for anything malicious, it’s still disturbing.
