Have you ever wondered why social
media apps are all free?
It’s not because their creators are driven by a philanthropic urge to help the world share selfies.
It’s because we are not actually the customers, and the social media platform itself is not the product.
Instead, the customers are advertisers. And the product being
sold is our attention.
