I miss the good old days when "if you are not paying for the product, you are the product" meant I need to watch some ads on a free website.

Now, even if you pay for the product, you're still the product, and every company will try to get you to train their AI.

That is why I'm back to torrenting. Cheaper and no ads just like the old days when I cut the cable cord.

I'll admit I have a horrible setup and binge watching 12 random episodes of a new show in one day is a huge pain in the ass but I've decided that's a good thing!

It'd be amazing if I could torrent my co-workers so I could skip all those pesky ads they keep doing when we're sitting in remote meetings.

Unfortunately that doesn’t work for things like meetings!

I miss the good old when days when "if you are not paying for the product, you are the product" actually only applied if you are not paying for the product.

Yes, obviously it doesn't, I'm making a general observation.

I apologize for being off-topic.

I'm sorry for making completely off-topic comments. I'll try to refrain from doing that in the future.

It sounds like that might be Zoom's plan?
