It makes money and has always made money (like 1000's of other "Free" services) by DATA MINING
The moment somone say's you can have it for "free" they are tracking you, your location, shopping habbits, eating habits, buying habbits
What % of the population does this ? How many women do that ? how many asian people eat at "xyz"
Hello, do you have cookies enabled ? Do you post what you like to eat on facebook, do you have places you follow, twitter insta, youtbe
ALL DATA MINING that is gold dust.
Every video you or anyone else clicks on even anonymously tells yourtube something, 32k people clicked on cat vids 100k clicked on pro biden vids 150 clicked on trump vids
More people are interested in cat videos than the presidential election ! ?
dont think there is not something out there that isnt being tracked
Your mobile phone.... your car....,
How do you think google maps does traffic stats YOUR PHONE (amongst other things)
