    Yeah exactly. All those Google and Facebook tracking pixels are still firing away.

    This is merely a privacy facade. What they’re really doing is double dipping (same way Twitter’s doing), by charging a subscription, but still data mining and harvesting behind the scenes.

    The adage of “if you’re not paying for the product, you’re the product” is gone. Now you’re both.
