If you're not paying for a service, you're the product, not the customer.

There may be exceptions (obviously Google isn't one) but do you think we are hubski's product?

Hahahahahah! Meniacal laugh.

No, you're not. You are not for sale and neither is Hubski. So long as we can support the site financially, we will. To date we do so out of our own pockets and get a small amount subsidized through your donations. Emphasis on SMALL.

But, we don't even collect any rela vent info on you all and we don't want to. Ever.

We have other things we have built and are building to make money. Hubski we built as if it were an art project. It's here for everyone's enjoyment.

Haha I know, I was just just being sarcastic to show that some products can be truly free without making the consumer the product.

I'd ask the big boss, mk.
