When we\u2019re so used to just following instructions, it can be tough to try and question who truly benefits in the grand scheme of things. We barely give a second thought when it comes to paying off our monthly dues to Netflix, Spotify, and whatever subscription business models we use to entertain ourselves.
\xa0
However, we need to start digging deeper. If we don\u2019t start asking the right questions, we continue to feed a system that will shamelessly continue to take our information so that the nameless entities at the top will benefit.\xa0
\xa0
We also need to start looking into mobilizing on the grassroots level, looking for the right tools and equipment to empower our journey in reclaiming our data.

In this podcast, Alexander McCaig and Jason Rigby engage in a quick question-and-answer style discussion on micropayments, data rights, and how we can use TARTLE to better humanity.

Making Micropayments Possible
\xa0
We have plenty of payment platforms that allow us to send money to our loved ones and pay for services, regardless of location. However, they often come with hefty fees. This makes it difficult to send micropayments.
\xa0
As Alexander McCaig pointed out, micropayments are incredibly important in a world where most people live on less than two dollars and thirty cents a day. The fundamentals of this system do not work; online banking methods, and even bitcoin do not handle the process in a way that is fair for the user. Imagine paying more in fees just to pay for your streaming service, or send money to your family in your home country.\xa0
\xa0
The world needs a platform where people can send both small amounts and large sums as they need to, without any strings attached. No subscriptions or fees needed, nor personal data exchanged.
\xa0
And speaking of data\u2026

What\u2019s With the Data Farming?
\xa0
Jason Rigby shared how, in the past, glass beads were used as a form of currency in Africa. However, other people saw an opportunity to mass-manufacture these beads in factories across Europe. On the surface, they looked like generous benefactors with plenty of beads to help the local economy\u2014 but behind the facade, they were not sourcing it economically nor considering the user at all. They successfully squeezed everything they could out of the locals.
\xa0
Fast forward to today and we find ourselves trapped in a similar situation. The monthly subscription business models offered by our favorite entertainment apps, like Spotify and Netflix, give us the opportunity to access all the music and shows we want\u2014but at what cost?
\xa0
In this exchange, these companies get away with farming millions of people around the world for their data. It\u2019s not just a hit to our privacy. It\u2019s an avenue for them to earn at our expense. The underground data collection and massive aggregation of information.
\xa0
It\u2019s time for us to mobilize and start the clamor for more equal rights. To do that, we need a platform where we are all treated as equals.
\xa0
That\u2019s where TARTLE comes in.
