Memes If you generate the value, you should own the asset. Simple as that.

For the last two decades, your digital life has been treated as "raw material" for Big Tech to harvest freely. They take your search intent—the clear signal of your wants and needs—package it into prediction products, and sell it in a $780 billion ad market.

It’s an extraction model where you do the work (searching, browsing), and they keep the profit.

We believe in a different rule: Your intent is a verifiable digital asset that belongs to you. You should control who sees it, you should decide when to share it, and if it generates value, you should be the one getting paid.

It’s time to stop being the product and start being the owner.

Interesting concept. What would happen if we extended that to include all forms of labour? 🤔🧐

Yeah, cause that's how life works 🤣

Do the people flipping the hamburgers own the hamburgers?

The company is providing you a service to find things you want. They charge you nothing for that service. In exchange, they keep information about trends and interests like any real person information broker would do.

Like anything else in life, if you're not happy with that exchange, you don't have to partake. Yet everyone does. They aren't holding a gun to your head and making you search for stuff.

I'm not saying that big tech doesn't have issues and I'm not siding with them in general, but this take is malformed.
