I think it's closer to the truth to just say I'm a unique case. My income is next to fuck all, I spend my money almost exclusively on food, tobacco and weed. I simply do not consume anywhere near as much as the average person.
Facebook sell my data, and I get "tailored" ads as a result. Do I ever click on those ads? Nope. Do I ever see an ad and then go and buy the product? Nope, in fact I'm more likely to buy a rival's product as a result of the ad.
My youtube data is probably worth something, because I will watch recommended vids. If they are sponsored, rather than relying on blockable ads, then they make money from me watching their video. But I don't give a fuck about that, I'm happy to be recommended stuff I'm interested in watching, and am happy that content creators can make an income without me having to buy anything or disable my adblock.
