Whatever you replied to is deleted, but i hate when a government says xyz program wasn't profitable. Like fuck profit, was it working? Did it help the community? You dont need to make a profit on everything, but it should be an ultimate good for the country/community which will help it thrive and grow in a effective manner.
The OP post was something along the lines of "if its free, you are the product."
Which of course, applies to businesses, often selling ads or data.
Nevermind also that the government is not "free", we pay taxes to it. Taxes to fund these programs.
