Well, not sure what the OP is suggesting but your content is definitely a product that is attract other users to also pay.

Maybe, if he turns it in this way. I was however referring to what Apps.net says on their about page: https://app.net/about/

"We are selling our product, NOT our users.

We will never sell your personal data, content, feed, interests, clicks, or anything else to advertisers. We promise."

Yet if there was no content, there would be no product... so they are selling your content.

Which means they are just lying in their about page.

"to advertisers" are the important words to note in their claim.
