If you're not paying for the service, you're not the customer, you're the product. This isn't necessarily bad, so long as you understand the deal.

I'd rather see ads for stuff I might want to buy than ads for stuff some advertiser want's to sell.

What people really want is to see no ads at all. But they're not willing to pay for the services that are currently free becaus they're ad supported.

Many people have a very flawed view of how the world works.
