inhales deeply YOU ARE NOT THE CUSTOMER!!! YOU ARE THE PRODUCT!!!!
It astounds me how many people STILL don't understand this
it doesn't make sense, just say they're exploiting customers. Saying "you are product" just make people take it literally and think Facebook is wrapping people up and selling them whole package, organ and brain included, which is nonsense
They should take it literally, because it is meant literally!
They're not exploiting customers, they are exploiting people. Those people are NOT their customers.
Facebook is literally selling people in data form. Everything you post, everyone you interact with, everything you look at across most of the web (not just facebook.com) is all catalogued and used to create a fingerprint that is a digital representation of you, and that is their product! "Essence of /u/Melt for sale here"
Their customers are advertisers.
