"You are the product"

[–] 01189998819991197253@infosec.pub 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It used to be "if something was free then you're the product". Now, it's just "you're the product", period.

More like "You are one small part on are bigger product"

So it isn’t “you’re the product” it’s them double dipping.

You have a point. I haven't bought a prebuilt since I tore down my first one and discovered all unmentioned components were cheap substitutes.
