It sure as hell isn't free. Look into trackers and data brokers. Both Facebook and Google profit off you even it you don't have any accounts.

It is free as in beer, but I have no desire to argue about trackers in this thread, since it is not the point. The comment I replied to seems to have claimed that adblocker detection is evil.

It's entirely the point. People's data is monetized.

I'll pay money to companies that provide good services.

As for google, why should I pay them for something when they're already stealing out of my pocket?
