You are, but you're not getting it.

Probs get down votes, but look up data latte, you can put your data on the blockchain (anonymized) and get paid if somebody buys it, eg for market research.

Which essentially is what Google does. Sells your data to the market

It's an idea to play with... I dont think the specifics are all ironed out, but maybe with more building and more ideas would we control our data and earn from it like the corporations do.

Participate in surveys that actually matter.

Seems like yet another survey rewards site except maybe with blockchain and dollars

You can download your Spotify data for example and get rewarded for it.

And we already know how much of a joke NFTs are. They are digital receipts at best.

Have a longer think on that. Interoperability with receipts and a programming language. Sounds like it could go somewhere.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

Data latte. Sorry I mistyped earlier.

The pure data isn't sitting on the blockchain itself, but in a ipfs or something similar. But the contracts and tokens allow you to automate it and own it/give out access to it to a certain extent.

Its a small project, but I like the idea, could be something.

You can go pretty far with that analogy. A docker container is just a glorified zip folder in a kubernetes cluster. Yes sure you get some of its functionality, but you're missing quite a bit.
