You think of yourself as the customer of all these products you use daily. For thousands and thousands of years, humans have been consumers: we traded, we purchased… And we think of ourselves as customers of these free products, but - let me break the bubble for you, you are not a customer. You’re the product. If this product you are using is made by a for-profit company, and none of your money goes to that company- that means they have another customer, and you are just the product. For the first time in humanity’s history, we’ve become the products. In the era of the internet, people's data is a valuable asset that companies and even governments are willing to pay good money for, and tech companies figured out the business model to make it happen. - About Slidebean Slidebean is a platform for founders to scale their startups.
