Parent was pointing at the value exchange, and I argued that users' privacy is not the currency Google deals with.

Your privacy can be valuable to you, it just has no weight on the exchange.

I agree that "privacy is not the currency Google deals with."

However when I run an adblocker and Blockada on Android, when I use alternatives to the YouTube app (and Google is technologically fighting them) when I don't log into Google, then those exchanges happen with very little of the currency Google is interested in.
