What a strange comment. Of course companies will utilize their own metrics to make a profit. Every company in history does this.

What's currently a topic of contention is when companies build an identity out of you and associate data with you. When they can sell personally identifiable information (PII) -- that's the ethical dilemma of our time.

This is like saying "If you buy nike shoes at footlocker, both nike and footlocker will use this information to mark those shoes as popular!". Like, yeah?
