Free? You are the product

It is not clear to me who first said this, “If it’s free, you’re the product.” Maybe Richard Serra as early as 1973.

It applies to our television channels. We don’t pay for it. So we are the product. You notice: we have to watch crap larded with commercials. Not just the commercial channels. No, just as much the public broadcasters.
