I created a google takeout and in that zip file I found some files containing a ton of data about me. It has logged every single page I visited while using the google search engine and chrome browser. It even logged every single time I opened an app on my old android phone. It even has VOICE RECORDINGS of me and a log of every time I used google assistant. This is just some of the data and I’m very sure there is even more data they have.

        As a percentage of population, so did Julius Caesar.

        The reality is that Google is entirely dependent on ads and selling your data.

        Apple and Microsoft, it’s just a happy side gig they can do.

        Apple makes its money selling mediocre hardware and software for a premium markup.
        Microsoft makes money selling Windows, Office(+Teams) and Azure to business users then from video games, then ad revenue.
