Um, personal data, and yes you absolutely can sell it, just not (paradoxically) if it belongs to you.
_Using_ LI, costs attention too, increasingly so, as with all social networks, but you also receive some in exchange, so if you don't value your own attention all that much higher than every other human's on the planet ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

- scarface_74 3y agoWell, seeing that I got a job that will pay me 1 million+ over the course of four years from a BigTech recruiter reaching out to me in 2020 all at the “expense” of creating a profile and reading an email when they sent me a message, I think the tradeoff was well worth it. How much money have you made by creating a profile on HN and reading and posting to it and giving it your attention since 2015?
