The question is for whom that idea has merit. For sales and marketing folks, yeah, absolutely they would love to be able to just push their marketing spend towards something that would buy LLM users' eyeballs. For everyone else, this sounds like just a new iteration of unwanted ads in our face, and would probably breed the same level of resentment, annoyance, and ultimately blockers to avoid it all.

I completely agree with you. Establishing clear guidelines on how data is used and who can access it would be essential. This concept has value beyond just sales and marketing. For instance, if someone is seeking funding today, where can they find a comprehensive list of potential funders, determine their eligibility, understand the application process, and know what documents are required?

Of course, spam could be an issue. To maintain a trustworthy and reliable environment, a robust reputation system—similar to Google's PageRank could evaluate individuals and their contributions. It would replicate the way we naturally seek advice from trusted individuals but on a global, digital scale.
