Google and TikTok may seem free, but every click and scroll you make gets packaged into a "user profile" and sold to advertisers. Take Facebook, for example—it makes about $50 per user per year just from their data. In the internet age, if you're not paying for the product, you are the product.
yeah it’s “free” but really you are paying with it with your data and your continuous use of these platforms is what pays their bills you just don’t notice it because you are using it to your benefits so it seems free but in reality almost nothing is free anymore these days
so many things that we don’t notice for example ads that are shown to us may seem nothing to you but may actually affect you a lot heavier than you think
