Yeah, I know the headline sounds extremely boring, like here is another wiseguy with yet another angle or”clever” twist, on a tired topic, however this time I believe you would be dead wrong!
Since this little gem got my undivided attention when I was doing research into content that can make a bored-audience who has seen and heard it all, raise more than just one eyebrow, right, if you are still here,
Here goes!
In the unfathomable world of sayings, there is one which goes, that if you get something for free, you had better know, that you’re the product.
This saying was never truer than in the case of Gmail, Facebook, YouTube and Instagram to name just a few, Sure, you get free social-media services, and you get free funny cat videos. You give up in exchange, the most valuable asset you have, which is your personal data.

In life, very little is free with no strings attached.
Some people are very skilled manipulators and we never see it coming while others make no attempt at hiding their true intent.
Oh, oh, oh, I know this one. It means that someone else had to pay for it so you could have it. It may not have been paid with money, but with time.
That sure is true and is just a bit more blatant in the social media sector…
