Companies typically pay their workers

I am creating the product that they sell

You really aren't. You're a small piece of the product that they sell.

Look, if they can’t afford to make a profit selling people’s data without paying everyone at least minimum wage then the industry shouldn’t exist

Cool, where's my small piece of the profits?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

If you don’t own shares you aren’t entitled to any of the profits.
