I am catching up on all these relay conversations. As the community thinks about this, I think we should keep this in mind…
You’re personal notes and data is only valuable to you because it is a history of the record of you being on this planet. It is very personal and as such has value - but only to you. My personal record of notes and data has no value to my neighbor across the street, they are worthless to them so they would not want to keep a record of my notes at all. HOWEVER, when does my data become valuable? When I start aggregating my data with my neighbors data with your data, so on and so on...
When you aggregate data you can draw conclusions about people, and that is valuable. There are companies that will pay big money for that. We do not want to be harvested for our data just like we were with Facebook and Twitter.
I am not against paid relays, I just don’t want them to become data honey pots for companies to come harvest. This is not value 4 value to me.
