RE: Why I Believe Selling User Data is a Bad Long Term Business Strategy

in #money7 years ago

Totally agree! I remember working as tech journalist covering VC investment a couple of years ago and seeing hundreds of millions of dollars a month going into companies with no business model beyond, "eventually we'll sell user data." Unsurprisingly I haven't heard from any of those startups in quite a while.
Hopefully, this also means we're pushing through the creepy-data era of online advertising to a better future.
