Inevitably, companies would arise that don't sell your data, and charge a higher fee to compensate the loss in revenue. Then, they'd go out of business as customers decide they prefer to sell all their data for a couple extra bucks.
This falls under the illusion that you are personally interesting. Nobody would do this to you simply because it doesn't matter.
Isn't this what robot vacuums are for?
Does that harm me or my stuff? Because smashed furniture and banged up walls suck.
Human movers have phones, they could be making some extra bucks doing this now?
I'd love there to be a catalog of all the stuff in my home that I could organize, or easily put up on eBay. The biggest hurdle of selling something, for me, is the work of photographing and uploading the photos. A one-click "sell this" would be amazing.
