Who’s Your Product?

Love this quote, which sums up the model of companies like facebook, google etc.:

“If you are not paying for it, you're not the customer; you're the product being sold.”

Originally(?) appeared here and quoted many times since.

'We’re not Google’s customers; we’re Google’s product that they sell to their customers'
