The average American generates more than USD1600 a year for Google. https://proton.me/blog/what-is-your-data-worth-to-google 'Every cross-product integration, every friction point on data export, every feature built to increase daily engagement is backed by this math. Google’s advertising mechanics have always been deliberately opaque. The data shows why: users are considered money-generating assets, assigned a value and targeted accordingly. Every feature built to increase engagement, every product designed to deepen lock-in, serves that extraction. Most people would not knowingly hand a corporation hundreds of thousands of dollars over a lifetime to process their email. But that is what the system is built to collect.'
