This bounty model for data is really interesting. What's dolthub's business model? Clearly the data must be worth more than the bounty.

CEO of DoltHub here.

The data created by bounties is free and open.

Our business model is to sell database licenses. We're a database start up. Bounties are the thing that shows off our capabilities the best, so we consider it marketing. It could be more in the future, ie. a two-sided marketplace, but right now, we're just getting started.

Thanks for your answer! I really like this bounty model. It's really creative and productive.
