Abstract
The article explores the capabilities of various data monetization platforms, such as Gener8, Datacoup, Datawallet, and Swash, highlighting their innovative approaches, user benefits, ethical considerations, and privacy implications. Through comparative analysis, the study examines how these platforms transform personal data into economic value, offering users different methods for monetizing online behaviour, social media interactions, and web activity. Gener8, for instance, rewards users for ad viewing and enhances online shopping experiences, while Datacoup allows for direct data sales, emphasizing user consent and transparency. Swash offers a passive income model through a browser extension, prioritizing user privacy and employing blockchain technology for secure transactions. The article delves into the ethical and privacy concerns arising from data commodification, advocating for robust regulatory frameworks and transparency in data transactions. It concludes that while these platforms offer new opportunities for personal data monetization, they also necessitate careful consideration of privacy implications, underscoring the need for ongoing dialogue around the value of personal data and individuals' rights in the digital marketplace.
