I'm very tired of the phrase "if you aren't paying for the product, you are the product".
Because of how many people don't seem to realize that often if you ARE paying for the product, you are still the product. Do you think paying for Youtube Premium means you stopped being the product? Paying for a product doesn't mean you're suddenly respected as a customer. These days usually you're just the product but paying for the privilege.
