    Right now you pay with your data

    When you have a subscription model, the user becomes the customer.

    You’ll still pay with your data and you’ll still be the product when you pay. The statement of if you don’t pay you are the product is outdated for the present day when it comes for for profit companies. You can drop thousands and you’ll still be getting data collected on you.

    Stuff like YouTube premium don’t opt you out of getting data collected on you either. Data harvesting is a core foundation of these services that isn’t going to go away no matter how much you pay. You aren’t paying to not be the product but for additional features.
