JW do you know how much money google actually makes off of your data?
I tried searching it and didn’t find anything.
“Selling my data should be enough money to cover video bandwidth” is a common argument in this thread and was wondering if anyone actually had numbers to back that up.
Even that’s misleading, because Google doesn’t actually sell anyone’s data. It’s not like advertisers buy user data from Google. They have a product they want to advertise to a specific audience, and by choosing to advertise on YouTube, they can tell Google to only show these ads to their specific target audience, which YouTube can do, because they know who you are and what you’re interested in.
