now hush, go pay something to google for a privilege to have your data analyzed for targeting your ads as everyone else and feel superior about it, you valued customer!
Sorry, mate. You’re going to have to think for yourself instead of just repeating the catchy things you heard on YouTube or Reddit.
You first tried to argue that these people “weren’t the customer, they were the product”, because you thought the purpose of Google Drive was to collect data from its users for advertising purposes. Google doesn’t do that, and they’d be morons if they did because they’d be quickly caught and everyone would get weirded out and stop using their shit.
No, the purpose of Google Drive and Google’s office suite being handed out free of charge is the same reason they sell discounted Chromebooks to schools and provide Gmail for free. You are right, it isn’t out of the goodness of their hearts. These are all basically free samples to get people using the product, so when a small portion of those individuals enter into decision-making positions for organisations, they, having tried the product, think “Let’s go with Google Workspace”. Google then earns 60 USD per user per year. Ka-ching.
This is a rare instance where the big corporation’s interests happen to be to make the best possible product.
lol. “This is a rare instance where the big corporation’s interests happen to be to make the best possible product,” said a person who suggested to “think for myself”.
well, it is a good thing they are treated as such and there is no problem then 😂
That’s certainly a different angle from the one you were parroting in your previous comment.
no, it is not, you just did not get it.
