I've long dreamed of a contract system in the world that does this. Every contract you're apart of, becomes explicit. We get paid for our data based on our preferences. Let's say the cost of showing me an ad is $51, so be it, it that means I can't read a blog post - fine, at least I agreed to the the terms for a price.

The system would be all encompassing but organized by agreement type - titles, loans/mortgages, insurance, purchases/warranties, ad networks, bets, etc... All managed by an open system but used by private parties. I don't advocate for this to be done by say, etherium, I still think the classic system can be used to decide disagreements, but at least all of what you agreed to will become very explicit. And there can be ways to "break out" of agreements, with whatever very explicit ground rules to be followed after that.
