@pwalker8. I agree with your view that "it is a mistake to think that Google, Amazon, Apple or any other large corporation does something out of the kindness of their heart." I have said as much in my own past posts. Further, I think that most people here are realistic enough to share this view. With respect, this is not what I asked you.

You made the statement in your post @211 that "I simply said that if you are not paying for something, then you are the product, not the customer". After accepting your statement for the sake of argument only I concluded my post $217 with the questions:

"What difference does it make? Are you in fact implying that Google does not treat you as well as it would a customer? If so, in what ways? What point or points are you trying to make?"

If your post $218 provides answers to the questions I posed then I fail to see them.
