If you’re not paying for the product, you are the product.
In this episode of Need to Know, we explore the hidden costs of “free” apps and platforms. From data harvesting and behavior tracking to the psychological tricks behind endless scrolling, we uncover how your attention, habits, and privacy are quietly being monetized. Learn how free services turn your life into revenue—and what you can do to take back control in a system designed to keep you distracted, predictable, and compliant.
