Jon Alper's probably insufficiently humble opinion

A while ago I let rip with this bit of pith:

“I think we’d all be much better off if we started thinking of our personal info as currency and our opinions as monetizable content.” – Jon Alper

Today, I learned of any even pithier quote via: Petteri Hiisilä

“If you’re not paying for it, you’re not the customer; you are the product being sold.” – MetaFilter User: blue_beetle
