Google gives nothing away for free. If you're not paying for it, you're the product.

You can still be the product even if you are paying for it. Take smart TVs for example that monetize their customers post purchase.

It is surprising to me that someone on hacker news believes this.

they're doing fine not because of giving away plenty for free.

The will also run into same problem, but they will be last man standing
