Interesting video, but it doesn't explain how we will get there. He highlights the issues people have raised about "MID" (mediator of individual data) (4 of them), but doesn't actually address them in depth.
1. "My data earnings are too small to be worth it": Not sure why someone would raise this issue. To me, it's better than getting tracked and not making anything, its not about data profits. If they really don't want to transition, its clear they don't care about facebook tracking them. Many people don't.
2. "People will never pay for Facebook!": What he means is people will never pay for the alternative that is more privacy centric. That is still a concern, just because Netflix can charge money, doesn't mean a Facebook alternative can. Netflix is cheaper and more convenient for most people who don't use their previous solutions: cable.
3. "This will price poor people from the internet!": Well it depends how expensive it, and how it's designed. Didn't you say people are making money in this scheme anyway.
4. "The tech giants will never go for this": Why would a tech giant miss out on this. The tech giants will go for what makes money. If you make a solution which is viable, tech giants will be able over you. Its just validation. You're not making it p2p are you?
The only concern I have, which he hasn't addressed (also there aren't many articles on MID): what exactly is it, and how would it be viable? Someone still needs to make money to pay for infrastructure and development. It still needs to work.
