Consensus-driven entity metadata + decentralized anonymous data permissioning

PROBLEM # 1: Marketers pay hundreds of billions to large centralized firms that essentially exploit personally identifiable behavioral data from consumers in order to better sell them products. 

SOLUTION: Consumers should be the one earning $ for providing access to their opted-into data. 

PROBLEM # 2: There is no openly available ontology about cultural entities that is consensus driven, cross-domain, and that properly incentivizes moderation (the Wikiverse depends on altruism and / or reputational rewards)

SOLUTION: Cultural editors should be compensated for annotating entities, moderators should also be compensated for building consensus around those edits. 

Together we can build a world with smarter culturally-aware products that put consumers and cultural editors in the driver's seat.
