I welcome this change actually. Now users can clearly see what others have been saying forever: If you don't pay for the product, you ARE the product.
And sometimes when you pay you’re still the product. Smart TVs, occulus, etc
If you don't pay for the product, you ARE the product.
Well, that's not always true. I don't pay for Wikipedia, am I the product?
Explain how I'm the product relative to Linux.
With Linux you pay for support if you ever need it. Most end users will never need support, but businesses running Linux servers pay Red Hat a shit load to support them in case shit ever hits the fan. Like giving away a free car, but only certain people know how to do maintenance on it, and they all work for the manufacturer.
I'm not a business, so it doesn't apply to me.
Have you told anyone to switch to Linux?
