You know, and this got me off the Facebook: "If you are not paying for it, you're not the customer; you're the product being sold."

I'll wager dollars to doughnuts that all those sites are selling user data to Madison Ave et al.

So what about credit cards and bank accounts that have no annual fees (essentially free to use)? I suppose your money is the product being sold (in terms of interest) in this case.

Stores have to pay to use Visa, etc. So you're still paying for that credit card via slightly higher prices.

You'd lose a lot of doughnuts.
