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.
Honestly, free things are very expensive. The social media you mentioned earlier, where they always visited 24 hours without a single profit, and we still continue wasting our data without getting any backup, let's take a look at TikTok. Imagine that those who are using our data to watch their comedies are the ones who benefits a lot , and there is much of our data wasted.
But you see, some platforms that do not consume our data; they're the ones who pay pass because without using much of our data, we can cash out immediately, but the free things that they cannot achieve are always expensive; I wonder why.
