"You are the product"
It used to be "if something was free then you're the product". Now, it's just "you're the product", period.
More like "You are one small part on are bigger product"
Except they are also selling it for $139.
So it isn’t “you’re the product” it’s them double dipping.

But everyone does anytime they buy a laptop and most of the time, a prebuilt desktop.
You have a point. I haven't bought a prebuilt since I tore down my first one and discovered all unmentioned components were cheap substitutes.
