Is this quote the difference between Google and Apple?
With Google, you are the product - you pay $ and have your data harvested and used for advertising.
With Apple, you are the customer - you pay $$$ for a locked down, secure (they try?) system, that doesn't sell your data.
I grew up as an Apple hater (no particular reason), but now that privacy is becoming more of a concern, it seems that the Apple ecosystem offers a better product? Am I being naive about Apple?
- fullstackhuman 9y agoI can't say that I pay anything to Google and I've used their products for years. I haven't purchased anything through them directly, so it's unfair to say "You pay Google and they harvest your data for the privilege." I'm aware that they're providing a "free" service to me (Gmail, search engine etc) and in return I "pay" in personal data.
