Google doesn't do this out of the kindness of their corporate heart, they do it to provide more eyeballs for their various ad platforms. I repeat, if you aren't paying for a service you are getting, you aren't the customer, you are the product. In this case, you are the reason that Google can charge their advertisers what they charge them. |
Android doesn't have any ads. It is the apps on the playstore that have ads. Google is selling those apps to the android user. Even if they sell it for free, it is still a sale. Most apps you can opt out of the ads by paying money for the ad free version. Part of that money the customer pays goes to Google as comission.
So no, I disagree with your insistence to not calling android users customers.
