At this point I don't think I should have degoogled my life, I should have just gotten Google to pay me to continue to use their products. Given the what they're paying everyone else, I must be worth at least a few hundred dollars a year.
In terms of my data on the market, yes. But in terms of Samsung's user numbers divided by 8 billion I'm worth about $6. Based on what they paid Apple, each of their users is worth about $15. I just need to get my invoice on the right desk.
Nah just invoice for printer ink, and there is a good chance someone pays it.
Like when that guy scammed google out of 120mil with fake invoices
That's impressive. Usually the target organizations with a lot of autonomy, but poor payment controls. Like school districts... the schools usually have the autonomy to enter into their own small contracts, but a central office has no idea what invoices are legitimate without calling every school for each invoice.
So, would that even be a crime as long as you sent them the ink with a 10000% markup?
Depends on how contract savvy you are... if you word it as a service contract where acceptance is payment, you can sometimes get away with not sending them anything.
But generally yes, that's what you would do. Often times it's ink for a discontinued machine that nobody uses before. The ink itself is probably recalled.
You can get Google to pay you through Play Rewards!
You are, but you're not getting it.
Probs get down votes, but look up data latte, you can put your data on the blockchain (anonymized) and get paid if somebody buys it, eg for market research.
Which essentially is what Google does. Sells your data to the market

It's an idea to play with... I dont think the specifics are all ironed out, but maybe with more building and more ideas would we control our data and earn from it like the corporations do.

Seems like yet another survey rewards site except maybe with blockchain and dollars
You can download your Spotify data for example and get rewarded for it.
Hmm, where would you sell it to?

Have a longer think on that. Interoperability with receipts and a programming language. Sounds like it could go somewhere.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
Data latte. Sorry I mistyped earlier.
Hmm interesting, it seems blockchain is everywhere. Thanks for the info!

The pure data isn't sitting on the blockchain itself, but in a ipfs or something similar. But the contracts and tokens allow you to automate it and own it/give out access to it to a certain extent.
Its a small project, but I like the idea, could be something.

You can go pretty far with that analogy. A docker container is just a glorified zip folder in a kubernetes cluster. Yes sure you get some of its functionality, but you're missing quite a bit.
Sorry pal, you're product, not customer.
Technically based on how much you'd need to pay for the different services to replace Google it kind of works out? Eg. It's the price you're paying for free Gmail, search, calendar, etc etc.
