OzoneAI wants companies to pay you for your data, upending the ad model
When you’re a Dot you’re a Dot all the way. As a Dot you had Friends, Your data was pooled which meant it was more networked, more valuable. The Dots could sell at a higher premium than you could ever manage on your own. DotBots paid a visit to people’s data profiles, offered them the choice to join or enter a ‘sharing’ relationship. Protection data. But now The Marks were moving in. They were offering a better percentage to lure Dots over. There was going to be a rumble. The Dots were tooling up. Someone was going to get hacked.
When you’re a Dot you’re a Dot all the way from your first playlist to your last wishlist pay…
The Dots had been in control for as long as she could remember. To become a Dot meant you had Friends, meant you had status and, most importantly, meant you had more than the standard amount of data to sell. Your data was pooled which meant it was safe of course but also meant that because it was aggregated with all the other Dots, it was more networked, more connected and so more valuable. The Dots could sell Dot data at a higher premium than you could ever manage on your own.
She’d heard rumours that The Dots was more than an aggregation gang. Scare stories about how they controlled the data feeds circulated (and in some wonder full circular logic, became data making profit for The Dots). She’d heard that anyone listening, buying, searching, moving, seeing or being seen across their area ‘shared’ some of their data with the Dots. DotBots paid a visit to people’s data profiles and offered them the choice to join or just to enter a ‘sharing’ relationship. She’d never heard any complaints, people obviously liked the protection The Dots offered.
But now The Marks were moving in. This territory was valuable. Traffic everywhere. It was only a matter of time before someone challenged The Dots’ control. They were offering an introductory rate to lure Dots over. A better percentage on the sale. And she’d heard they were offering firewall protections they guaranteed would end ‘sharing’. They were set on driving The Dots out.
There was going to be a rumble. The Dots were tooling up. Someone was going to get hacked.
