Good morning ☀️

Interestingly, data used to be exclusively in the hands of large research institutions. Now, the situation is completely different—you can contribute some bandwidth to feed AI models in exchange for rewards.

Platforms like this are doing one thing: cleaning and processing raw traffic data into high-quality training datasets, directly supplying enterprise applications. Why do companies like this? Because they can access real, real-time world data instead of passively waiting.

The logic behind this is actually quite clear—data productivity is being redistributed. Moving from centralized storage to distributed contribution, the AI era data supply chain is being reshaped by Web3. It’s not just a technological upgrade, but an upgrade to participation economy.

Wow, isn't this just democratizing data? Finally, it's our turn ordinary people to make this money. The big slice of the data pie was previously monopolized by big corporations. Now with distributed technology... it feels like something real. Bandwidth for rewards? Sounds great, but can it really make money, or is it just another scam to harvest the little guys? Web3 reshaping the supply chain sounds awesome, but how practical is it? Let's see first. This is what true participation in the economy looks like, not some vague metaverse concept.

Wow, the democratization of data is really happening now, I never even dared to imagine it before.

nah wait, so they're basically monetizing MY bandwidth to clean their datasets? that's the play rn fr... data arbitrage but make it decentralized lmao

This is true data democratization, no longer monopolized by centralized institutions.

Can you make money just by selling bandwidth? This trick somehow feels a bit familiar to me... But on the other hand, the data has really been liberated from big companies, and this thing is indeed quite interesting.
