So with a lot of the online services shitting the bed in an effort to become profitable (or failing to like gfycat) does that mean our data wasn't as valuable as once thought?
I thought the idea was these apps made money because they were collecting oodles of data from our phones and selling that to ad/info brokers.
Was that business model flawed and we just didn't notice for 15+ years because interest rates were so low?
