Brief
10,000 forgotten consumer apps may represent the biggest AI data opportunity: each app reportedly generates under $1M ARR but retains 5+ years of proprietary user data that remains largely unpriced and unmonetized. The author (@defi_dua, 2026-06-24) argues this decentralized trove could eclipse value from established data vendors if aggregated or leveraged.

Key details
- Each of those apps reportedly does under $1M ARR and holds 5+ years of proprietary consumer data that few have priced or monetized (published 2026-06-24).
