Does Personal Digital Privacy Consulting sound like an insane thing? Is it already done for indivuduals?

Charging for services, in my opinion, is less so gatekeeping tools, like others have mentioned (I share free tools to people alllll of the time). Rather, it’s actually giving your time and energy to walk people through those tools that they may not have had the initiative to use themselves. It’s similar to the time and energy difference between a therapist providing a CBT worksheet to a client with absolutely zero guidance, and the same therapist actually holding the client accountable to doing CBT exercises, or utilizing CBT techniques in session. No one asks therapists to provide their sessions for free and teach clients tools for free — why? It’s because they are recognized for the value their time and energy brings to people’s lives. All of the tools people need for their mental health can technically be given for free and are as accessible as ever (mental health workbooks, guided meditations, etc) — so why are mental health levels in many wealthy, connected countries at an all time low? Accountability helps. Having someone to guide you through your situation helps. Having someone who has actually walked in your shoes and can impart helpful advice helps. And people should be compensated for it if it proves valuable to their client. Free is great, and I’m all about democratizing resources. But my time isn’t democratized, and if it helps people improve their lives, I don’t mind being compensated for my work. I’ll check out your post, thanks.
