Most people don’t realise how much money their data and content are worth — until someone else starts profiting from it. DebitMyData™ flips that story. Led by Preska Thomas, the platform gives creators, influencers, and everyday internet users the power to own and earn from what’s rightfully theirs — their identity, their creativity, and their digital presence.
A Landscape of Change: Why This Moment Matters
The creator economy and data-monetisation sectors are not niche anymore—they’re booming:
- Forecasts show the creator economy could grow from about US$205 billion in 2024 to much larger figures by 2027 (with multiple revenue streams powering this expansion).
- The data-monetisation market itself (platforms enabling individuals or organisations to monetise data assets) is projected to hit about US $16 billion by 2030 from ~US $3.2 billion in 2023, representing a CAGR of ~25.6%.
- The ad-revenue model is shifting: a recent analysis from WPP Media predicts that in 2025 creator-driven platforms will surpass traditional media for ad revenue for the first time.
In short: the old model (platforms, media corporations) is breaking. A new model (creator + identity + data) is emerging. That’s where DebitMyData enters.
The Innovation: What 0fung Means
At the core of DebitMyData™ is the concept of the 0fung (zero-fungible asset). Unlike typical NFTs (which emphasise transferability and speculative trading), a 0fung is identity-linked, unique, and monetisable by its owner.
Here’s how it differentiates:
- It’s not just about owning something—it’s about owning you in a digital context. Your face, your content, your brand, your network become encapsulated in this asset.
- Brands don’t just sponsor you—they embed into your 0fung. They pay you for access to your channels and content.
- You receive up to 5% (or more) of every ad deal directly, without intermediaries or hidden fees.
- Protection is built-in via facial recognition and identity verification modules: your identity cannot be hijacked, your 0fung cannot be impersonated or deep-faked.
- Payments are transparent and immediate: PayPal, X, CashApp, credit card or crypto wallet—your choice.
In the current creator economy where most creators struggle to generate meaningful income, this model changes the game.
The Mechanics: How It Works in Practice
Here’s a breakdown of step-by-step:
- Create/Monetise Your 0fung
Upload your custom logo or enable the platform’s AI facial-recognition tool. Mint your 0fung as your digital identity asset. - Embed It in Content
Whether you’re producing TikTok beats, YouTube shorts, high-impact images, audio, text posts—your 0fung becomes part of the content. - Open to Ad Deals
Brands browse the marketplace, bid for ad space on your 0fung across devices and platforms. You approve, you distribute, you earn. - Payment and Tracking
When a brand runs an ad on your asset, you get paid instantly. Transparent dashboard, full audit trail, no mystery. - Identity & Protection
Agentic Avatars™, facial-recognition 0fung Buttons™, blockchain anchoring—all combine to safeguard your brand and monetisation rights.
Why the Market Needs This—and Why It Works
- The average creator today is under-monetised: many earn under US $5,000 annually, despite having solid followings.
- Creator income is heavily tied to brand-deals (70%+ of creator income in many cases) and ad-share remains a smaller portion.
- Data monetisation is still nascent but accelerating: businesses know data equals value; individuals rarely capture it.
- Privacy, identity theft, deep-fake threats, and loss of control over one’s digital self are rising in parallel with these monetisation challenges.
DebitMyData™ addresses all these: it gives creators control, monetisation, and protection—underpinned by real market dynamics.
Real-World Impact: What’s Changing for People
Because of this model, here’s what creators, influencers and data-owners are beginning to experience:
- A creator with moderate following can convert their digital presence into a direct revenue stream, not just hope for a brand deal.
- Individuals who previously gave away their image, content and time for “exposure” are now empowered to say: “If you use my face, my content, my brand—pay me.”
- Diffusion of ad-inventory: instead of large platforms hoarding ad-space and controlling payout terms, the marketplace opens up this inventory to you.
- Identity risk mitigation: your brand, your face, your digital self can be weaponised—but now you have tools to safeguard it, while monetising it.
Why Preska Thomas is the Visionary Behind This
It’s not accidental that Preska Thomas is being called the “Satoshi Nakamoto of 0fung.” Her foresight bridges multiple domains: blockchain, identity, content creation, creator economy, ad-tech.
- She designed the 0fung concept at a time when many were thinking only of fungible tokens and speculative NFTs.
- She sees monetisation not as an afterthought, but as a built-in mechanism of identity-assets.
- Under her leadership, DebitMyData™ isn’t a small app—it’s infrastructure for the new data-economy; she’s building the rails.
- Her strategy is rooted in decentralised value flows: creators who own their data, their assets, their revenue streams—not the platforms.
What Makes DebitMyData™ Unique
- Ownership over renting: You don’t just create content on someone else’s platform—you own your asset (0fung).
- Identity-bound assets: The 0fung cannot be arbitraged away by others, cannot be impersonated, cannot be simply resold—it is you.
- Monetisation + protection built simultaneously: Many platforms focus on monetisation, but ignore identity risk—this one tackles both.
- Real ad-marketplace integration: Brands bid, creators earn. It’s not hypothetical—it’s live.
- Alignment with market tailwinds: With creator economy surging, and data-monetisation growing fast, the timing is ripe.
What This Means for You (Creators, Influencers, Content-Owners)
- If you’ve built an audience, created content, have a face or brand—now you can convert that into recurring revenue, not just sporadic sponsorships.
- If you’re worried your identity or content is being used or mis-used without your consent—you now have the tools to control access and monetise.
- If you believe in decentralisation, creator-empowerment, economic fairness—this platform gives you a concrete way to act on that belief.
- If you want to diversify away from being dependent on a single platform algorithm or brand deal—you can now own an asset, open it for bidding and collect ad-revenue.
DebitMyData™ is not a promise—it’s a mechanism. Under Preska Thomas’s leadership, the platform is pioneering how we think about digital identity, ownership, content monetisation and ad-economics. In this paradigm: your face, your content, your brand aren’t just tools—they are assets.
If you’ve ever wondered where the value of your digital self ends up, this is your answer: you own it, you monetise it, you protect it.
