    Even that’s misleading, because Google doesn’t actually sell anyone’s data. It’s not like advertisers buy user data from Google. They have a product they want to advertise to a specific audience, and by choosing to advertise on YouTube, they can tell Google to only show these ads to their specific target audience, which YouTube can do, because they know who you are and what you’re interested in.
