You can get Google to pay you through Play Rewards!
Comment on Google paid Samsung $8 billion to be the default search engine, app store and voice assistant

At this point I don’t think I should have degoogled my life, I should have just gotten Google to pay me to continue to use their products. Given the what they’re paying everyone else, I must be worth at least a few hundred dollars a year.

You are, but you’re not getting it.
Probs get down votes, but look up data late, 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.

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.

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

Sorry pal, you’re product, not customer.

Technically based on how much you’d need to pay for the different services to replace Google it kind of works out? Eg. It’s the price you’re paying for free Gmail, search, calendar, etc etc.

You are worth less than $2/year to them
Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 10 months ago
In terms of my data on the market, yes. But in terms of Samsung’s user numbers divided by 8 billion I’m worth about $6. Based on what they paid Apple, each of their users is worth about $15. I just need to get my invoice on the right desk.

Nah just invoice for printer ink, and there is a good chance someone pays it.

So, would that even be a crime as long as you sent them the ink with a 10000% markup?
