Lately it is getting more like we are not just the consumers, we are the product. It is very uncomfortable.
Lately?
It has been the case for well over a decade but for free web stuff. Philips Hue lights are expensive and still they pull this shit. That's something that just started quite recently.
No it's been awhile but people still spread the bullshit remember if your not paying your that product. But that hasn't been true in awhile there are tons of things you pay for that still spy on you.
No it's not.
Phones have costed hundreds of dollars or even over a thousand and have been doing this for over a decade.
