Google makes a hell of a lot of money from me and people like me by selling ads based on multiple aspects of our lives. Spare me the "I'm not a customer" BS.

They make a bunch of money off you, but they don't receive that money from you. The customer is the one you receive money from.

"You're not a customer" isn't BS, it's a fact. Time to realise: You (and I) are the product.
