AI has completely transformed the internet \u2013 but not all for good.<\/p>\n
News investigations have revealed a surge in AI-powered scams, fraudulent ads, and deceptive marketing tactics pushing users to AI-generated storefronts, fake \u201cfamily-run businesses,\u201d and deepfake influencers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Internal documents leaked from a leading social media giant estimated that users were shown up to 15 billion scam-risk ads per day. It\u2019s an endless data harvest, feeding an ad economy that has transformed users from customers to products.<\/a> But one company is fighting back, and users\u00a0(and investors<\/a>) have rushed in.<\/p>\n The Dark Side of Data<\/p>\n Today\u2019s digital world is built on data extraction.\u00a0The modern internet runs on data extraction, and users carry all the risk while Big Tech keeps the profit.<\/p>\n Here’s what your phone knows about you right now:<\/p>\n Everywhere you’ve been in the past year (with timestamps)Who you communicate with most frequently (and when)Your sleep patterns, health indicators, and daily routinesWhat makes you happy, angry, or likely to spend money<\/p>\n And a whole long list of other points they can use to generate billions annually\u2026<\/p>\n Major tech companies have built trillion-dollar empires by harvesting this information.\u00a0<\/p>\n Google alone makes approximately $150 billion annually from advertising based on your data.\u00a0<\/p>\n Meta? Around $115 billion.<\/p>\n And you never see the transactions happening.<\/p>\n But a fast-growing consumer tech company has flipped this model on its head.<\/a><\/p>\n Mode Mobile: The Company Turning the Surveillance Economy Into Income for Everyday Users<\/p>\n While tech giants monetize user attention without sharing the upside,\u00a0Mode Mobile<\/a>\u00a0pays users directly for the phone activity they already do every day.<\/p>\n Instead of users being harvested for profit, Mode Mobile\u2019s ecosystem \u2013 including its EarnOS software and low-cost EarnPhones \u2013 lets people earn cash or rewards for:<\/p>\n Listening to musicReading newsBrowsing the internetUsing appsCharging or unlocking their phones<\/p>\n In short: the same actions that make Big Tech billions now generate earnings for the user.<\/p>\n And the model is working at a massive scale.<\/p>\n The Numbers Behind the Momentum<\/p>\n Mode Mobile<\/a> has achieved growth rarely seen in consumer tech:<\/p>\n Previously named Deloitte\u2019s #1 fastest-growing software company in North America50 million+ registered users$350 million+ earned or saved by consumers using Mode\u2019s ecosystem$75 million+ in revenue57,000+ investors already on board<\/p>\n All before going public (the company recently secured their Nasdaq ticker\u00a0$MODE<\/a>).<\/p>\n This traction is a big reason investors have labeled Mode \u201ctech\u2019s ethical play.\u201d The business model aligns incentives between users, advertisers, and the platform, providing a solution that empowers users instead of productizing them.<\/p>\n Disrupting A $1 Trillion Market\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n There are 7 billion smartphones in the world. Nearly all of them operate under the same model:<\/p>\n The user spends 5\u20136 hours per day on their device. Their data and attention are harvested. 100% of the value created flows away from the user. But\u00a0Mode Mobile<\/a> reverses that flow.<\/p>\n By sharing ad economics and engagement revenue directly with users, Mode positions itself as the first at-scale \u201cattention rebate\u201d platform. A model with global market appeal.<\/p>\n Just as Uber turned unused cars into income and Airbnb turned spare bedrooms into profit, Mode is turning everyday screen time into earnings. But the market it addresses is larger than both combined.<\/p>\n Accredited Investors Can Still Access Shares (at just $0.50)<\/a><\/p>\n Mode Mobile\u2019s<\/a> previous investment rounds sold out, bringing in tens of thousands of investors. And the company\u2019s current raise is filling fast, but shares are available for accredited investors only at just $0.50, with up to 120% bonus.<\/p>\n With momentum accelerating and demand for ethical tech surging, allocation in the current round is limited.<\/p>\n If AI exploitation represents the old internet\u2026 Mode represents the new one.<\/p>\n One where users get paid.<\/p>\n One where data isn\u2019t a liability.<\/p>\n One where tech creates shared value instead of extracting it.<\/p>\n Accredited investors can review the full offering details here.<\/a><\/p>\n Disclaimers<\/p>\n
