This is why i wish projects like TBL's Solid [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_(web_decentralization_project) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_(web_decentralization_pr...] would take off some more. I happily pay providers for an application (or at least the service/utility that an app. provides) because that is often the value they is brought to bear for my benefit...but the data, ah the data is something I don't want anyone to control but me. Projects like Solid pave a possible path forward that *could possibly* enable an ecosystem where we still can legitimately pay a provider for value they provide a la an app or service, but still we as users would exert maximum control over our data sovereignty. I hope this author and others continue to keep thinking of data in this way.
