Given that Nostr data is all public, is it likely that a data collection and/or data analytics company will mine it? It is certainly possible that a Nostr client could do this in the future, perhaps by running an indexing or caching service to organize the data and sell it to advertising agencies. In my opinion, this is likely to happen eventually. Thoughts?

Yes definitely, and the companies will use the same line that zuck uses: "We don't sell people's data"

And then they will sell access to info based on your data, analytics on your data, recommendations on your data, they will sell everything about your data except your data itself so they can say they don't sell your data.

The only defense against this is to not publish what doesn't need to be published, nostr is more public than other networks so there needs to be more awareness of this.
