In this case “whatever they can to turn a buck” = “showing you ads targeted to 20 year old males because you said in your profile that you’re a 20 year old male”.

what profile? i don't use said platform, but they still hoard data about me anyways. so fuck 'em if they get barred from doing shady shit. and yes, i feel that all of the cursing is mandatory because being nice has gotten us fuck all for protections from these leeches.
