Can you get customers? If so, then enter the market. The technology is irrelevant; what matters is how you acquire customers, paying or not.

  If someone is not paying, they are not a customer. Having lots of non-paying users is a viable approach if your customers will pay for their data, e.g. Google, Facebook, Goodreads, etc. If nobody is willing to pay, there’s no business value being created.

    I don't think the game is in data. Facebook has so many eyeballs that it's basically the cheapest place to buy ads. They give me mostly irrelevant ads, but there's so many that I have bought something off there. Goodreads's purpose is to encourage people to read more books, or get excited to buy books they don't read, which benefits the world's largest bookstore, Amazon. Google doesn't need data to sell you something. It just sells you whatever you type in the box.

      not raw data but AI insights into data. businesses don't buy ads on FB and G they buy AI optimized targeting driven by data.
