No shit? Isn’t that every major tech company public traded?

If it has a ticker, you best believe you’re the product, whether you realize it or not.

If it has a ticker and the "product" is free, then you're the product.

But plenty of tech companies exist that make their money by charging for the actual product.

And how many of those STILL sell your data, even after paying them?
