Which part of you isn't for sale yet?

Brain data. It's already happening and the law is scrambling behind it. 🧠.

Meditation headbands, sleep-tracking earbuds, focus trainers. Already collecting, already sharing.

Attention πŸ‘οΈ Not clicks. Where your eyes actually went, for how long. VR headsets already track it.

Gait 🚢 You can be identified by how you walk, at distance, in a crowd, with your face covered. No consent moment exists.

Sleep 😴 The one place ads never reached. That's a virgin eight hours per person per day.

Emotional state 😐 Not what you bought, what you felt at the moment you nearly bought. Marketing companies are already the named use case in the neural bills.

Grief πŸ•―οΈ Your dead relative's voice and face, licensed back to you monthly.

The pattern: the next thing monetized is always the thing you never had to consciously produce. Face and voice you perform. Brainwaves and gait you emit. There's no moment where you decide to hand them over, which is exactly why they're worth so much. πŸ’€
