>Data should be a liability.

Exactly. Mandate financial compensation for any and all value derived from data that an individual creates, whether they opted in or not.

If YC ran banner ads and my comment is viewed on the same page as an ad, then I should receive some significant percentage of that ad revenue. If an ad is targeted to a customer on IG through an ad campaign, based on the user's data, then the user should get a significant percentage of that ad.

That should clear everything up.
