    Is money is the only thing about yourself that you ascribe value to?

        Do you really not know how Google’s business model works, or are you playing dumb?

            I’ll say this.

            When I weigh the choice of handing over my personal videos to a company that is explicitly and actively going to use them to:

            • train and improve their massive corporate AI tools
            • develop their targeted ad platform (which is their real product)
            • build a comprehensive profile about me and my family

            Or

            Putting a NAS at a friends house, or paying a couple bucks a month for some block storage.

            I end up preferring the second set of options. It’s fine if you don’t, but don’t pretend you have no idea that your personal videos and information are valuable to Google.
