There’s a huge difference, including from a privacy perspective, between subscriptions and internet targeted advertising.

How are you the product, when you’re giving money? That’s like saying, when you buy a ticket to Black Panther, you are the product Hollywood is selling, not the movie.

Why can't you be both? After all, an advertiser's best target is someone who already has a propensity to spend. Companies can and do sell you stuff then also target you for ads.

I shouldn’t have to say this, but those are two different things, and just because you on tape them together doesn’t mean they’re identical.

I don't understand what you're saying. Why can't a company sell you something then also advertise to you?
