I don't think people really want to pay for data.

I also think that people don't like having ML or NLP tools through a SaaS API, because you want a tool that you manage on your own hardware.

I believe that we'll see something I call the "machine learning business model". Essentially, you release your code under open source, and you give away a basic model, but then you charge for a premium model. The model is essentially like compiled code. No one knows how you trained it up, or why it works. So you get people using your tools by open-sourcing them, and then you upsell them on increased accuracy.
