I don't think ads are evil nor is being a product inherently awful. It can be a great worthwhile trade to be the product if you're getting enough recompense. Like Lebron James is a product for the NBA but I doubt he's complaining much about that.

You don't have to relentlessly spy on everyone's life to sell ads, however that is the business model Google has chosen.

Their mission is to organize all the world's information, so i think they have a different set of values than you.

Their mission is now to spy on everyone as much as possible and leverage that data to make a profit.

How does organizing all the world’s information generate profits?
