While it's true that individuals can monetize their personal data through various means, the scale and profitability of data exploitation differ significantly between individuals and tech giants like Google. Google accumulates vast amounts of user data from various sources, including search queries, location data, and browsing habits. Their sophisticated algorithms analyze this information to target advertising with pinpoint precision, generating substantial revenue.

Individuals, on the other hand, have limited access to their data's true market value and often rely on third-party platforms or brokers, receiving only a fraction of the profits. Moreover, the complexities of data trading, legal constraints, and privacy concerns make it challenging for individuals to extract significant income.
