like any other social network: you are the product

  Typically they don't sell yourself to you though.

    Better than being sold to corporations. But holy shit, that's brazen. I hope I'll survive without Linkedin for some more time.

    They are selling a job board service by having "millions of qualified candidates" on the LinkedIn service (paraphrasing, not a direct quote, but still gets the point across). So yeah, you're being sold.

      In your example, you are not being sold to yourself, only to someone else, which is par for the course. Having your own data taken hostage so that you have to pay to buy info of yourself is pretty next level.

  Being the product does not have to equal a bad experience. You linking to two problems that don't have to be.
