If you don’t have anything to hide then you don’t have anything to worry about!
They are making money off me without paying me for it
I agree with you but look at the dude's name, they probably are a troll. Regardless, watching the debate between ILikeBoobies and MrBusinessMan, the two sages has been thrilling.
So? That’s what businesses are supposed to do. Make money. You should invest in the company and then you’ll make money off of the money they make off you.
Why do you hate progress?
My grandma isn’t alive so it wouldn’t even bother her and making money is good, I hope they earn as much as possible so my investments do better!
You’re just jealous of the successful car companies, try starting your own car company if you don’t like it
don't feed the trolls, just downvote and move on
Get a job, and save up your money. I’m not running a charity here
You realize this literally sounds like some shit a 90s comic would have had the corporate villain say, right

Companies typically pay their workers
I am creating the product that they sell
You really aren't. You're a small piece of the product that they sell.
Look, if they can’t afford to make a profit selling people’s data without paying everyone at least minimum wage then the industry shouldn’t exist
Cool, where's my small piece of the profits?
If you don’t own shares you aren’t entitled to any of the profits.
Nope, you’re just raw materials to be mined.
Then I own the land and they should be leasing it from me
You’ll own nothing and you’ll like it, get back to work
