Is money is the only thing about yourself that you ascribe value to?
That's not an answer to my question. What value are they getting from me?
Do you really not know how Google's business model works, or are you playing dumb?
Why can you not give me a straight answer?
I'll say this.
When I weigh the choice of handing over my personal videos to a company that is explicitly and actively going to use them to:
Or
Putting a NAS at a friends house, or paying a couple bucks a month for some block storage.
I end up preferring the second set of options. It's fine if you don't, but don't pretend you have no idea that your personal videos and information are valuable to Google.
Thank you for engaging the question more seriously but I still don't care for you tone to me. Good day.
That's nice. Just exposing your dishonesty. Move along.
Because, frankly, I don't think you're being honest.
