Lovishotherdayson Sell your own data for $10 Dollars

Crazy startup idea. Companies are harvesting your data and selling it forward anyway. What if we did the same?

Momentarily online has pivoted from selling attention to now selling data from our private archive hard drives.

Nothing is off limits.

You'd be surprised, most of the people who actually signed up so far have been lovely folk just looking to pick my brain about what they're building, ask about what I've been thinking about, tell me about their kids birthdays, and all round just be nice humans interacting with (a questionable) human (me)

Why scale, when you can descale the current systems.

I'd like to think the latter is more disruptive.

I appreciate that bud, Thats exactly the point.

It's dystopian, but actually we do that every single day with going to work, with who we choose to use as service or media providers, the cookies we leave behind. Everything is data and our data is being sold by big tech for our attention.

The point of momentarily is to take back control over my own time and say, I get to choose who I give my attention to and for others choose who they choose to spend time with them.

Can't make art without pissing some people off.

Thought I'd answer all of you — I'm the creator.

Momentarily is created as a art piece against how large corporations use your data and sell it on for attention to advertisers. The role of Momentarily is atleast personally a joke, to say F'you to big tech, and I'm taking back control over my own time and what or who I sell my attention to.

Most people who have actually bought know and understand it's a joke, and understand that they don't recieve "feedback" or "advice" They recieve 30 seconds of my time where I just sit and think about them. And I give them raw thoughts I'm having at that time in email form.

That could be a response to something they said, my thoughts on them, or just a fun little shitpost as a joke to lighten their day.

Although it says no refunds allowed, if anyone wants to get a refund they can literally just ask. Life's not that deep, you can make light of a shit situation, and make art.

Peace and Love, Seeds in soil. My attention is mine to give.
