Do they… do they understand that we are the customers?
No, you’re the product. They’re selling your data and viewing time to their customers.
You’re only a customer if you pay them. If you don’t, then you’re the product, and they can’t sell your eyeballs to advertisers if you block their ads.
When it comes to Google, even if you pay them you are still the product, YouTube Premium might stop the ads on YouTube but it doesn’t stop the data collection for other Google products and partners.
How many millions are you paying them? Because unless you’re paying into the business tier or an SLA, you are not their customer.
