No not really imo, because selling localised advertising instead of the data itself means the advertisers are just as chained to the big platforms as the users. That’s the whole reason these platforms stay alive, because they keep both parties ‘hostage’

In both cases, the users are being commodified. I don't really care about what is good for the advertisers.
