I'm sure there is, but Google's core business is advertising. It would almost be counterintuitive for them to sell that data when they make more money utilizing it in their own systems.

I understand all that, but point is that they don't necessarily sell you profile or data points to a third party, they use all of that for their own targeted advertising

Iirc Google doesn't sell data in the traditional sense, they package profiles for advertisers and their own ad network, but they don't outright sell individual data. I could be wrong though.

I feel like this is a good time for a reminder that Elmo offered a bid for twitter to stop that kid from tracking his jet, Twitter accepted the offer, Elmo tried to jk lol his way out of it, and then was compelled to complete the transaction, during which time he kept trying to squirm and squeeze out of it.

Fucking obnoxious

 

Bonus:

Service call for a smoking main 200a breaker. Ended up shifting the entire bussing up to get fresh bus clips, covered the top of the bussing protruding beyond the backing with a comical amount of mastic, installed a new main breaker, and told the client they need to change that service yesterday. Old 80s/90s Crouse-Hinds, those mains are garbage.
