Being cheated is common. We get cheated most of the time. Sometimes the effect is large. Only then we realise that we are being cheated. Cheating comes from false beliefs. We believe in the things that we thought to be the truth, at least we accepted as truth. By giving us the false information they are rectifying the probability of manipulation. It's easier to get convinced in this time. There is no scarcity for information. I mean made up false information. They are very likely to get hooked and there is plenty of them in the market. Only thing left to the marketers is to pick one and throw it in the face. You are most likely to engulf. Because the rule book say so, you must do so. You cannot turn your your face when you are nicely getting manipulated, the rule books say. Even the craftsman man who designed these b.s rule must've been frustrated by consequence of these rules made to the folks.

You see the story told version of fake product. Unless you don't see, you are robbed.
The saying in marketing (mainly as a precaution to the victims) is that if you’re not paying for the product, then you are the product. This marketing strategy of making people a product is widely successful and people indeed have no problem in being a product. Since we don’t have to pay for the services they offer, we are comfortable with them using it as a product. If not, YouTube and Facebook never have survived. Since I mentioned these two companies, it is thoughtful to inquire about the scale of business this business strategy brings. There is nothing wrong with giving their services for free. If we look at the positive side we can embrace the amount of change it brought. But of course, it has its own drawbacks. Since the ratio of their proportionality is highly irrational giving good an unfair advantage, we could say those are life-changing technologies. And this strategy is visible almost anywhere.
