I thought about this in great depth with a company I was working on a few years ago. I built it as a Financial data API and "Oauth for finance" but the ultimate idea was always - "Can I make it so that users can glean real value from owning their own data". Put another way - "What would a world be like where a user could simply sell their data to the highest bidder for the right to buy their business?" This could mean a lot of things to me it meant don't show me ads unless I ask for them and then I'll agree to take offers from all of these providers and I'll choose the best offer to give my business to. It is the reason I honestly don't have Alexa or google home or something else in my home. Because ultimately I believe the system that wins should be one that let's me choose and that gives me value by tying me into any number of providers I wish and not by letting one large conglomerate into my home with only the ecosystem of their choosing. Ultimately I'm not sure if enough people think like me but if you do feel free to drop me a line I'd love to chat! Email is in my profile and I'll be in SF alot more starting in January but also currently reside in Los Angeles
