Yes I agree. SO that they can produce goods that their consumers will buy.
My point is simpler.

So you're an average joe, with a decent job, a family. You like some kinds of music and in your private time sometimes you like to look at naked women. You like X,Y and Z brands and sometimes you hunt for weird things in the internet.
So google knows. Hallelujah. So other people know too. Double hallelujah.

My point perhaps is more valid to my mental outlook towards life.
So everyone knows you like some things in life, who you're married to and what your friends are called. Umm.. so what?
Anyways, I'm not starting an argument here, my views are strictly my own. Nobody has to agree with me.

Besides, somebody may google this thread page and then the whole world will know that I don't care what they know about me.
