MODERATORS
But people pay thousands for cars and still end up the product. I don't think paying guarantees privacy anymore and if anything is an outdated concept that gives people a false sense of security if they still buy into it. Data collection is the rage now.
Except they're being tricked into believing they're paying for privacy, when they're actually paying for an ad not to be displayed. All the privacy-hostile tracking that went into selecting the ad will still take place but you're $10 worse off.
