Perhaps a better phrase than "if you aren't paying for it, you're the product" is "if you can't go without it, you're the product." If just paying for things was enough, car manufacturers wouldn't be... *gestures vaguely at the auto manufacturing dumpster fire.* But they can get away with it because a lot of us can't afford to just not have a car (or buy exclusively used, older cars)
