        How much data left is there to sell about me? Pretty sure they know pretty much everything about us already.

        My surfing habits change a little, but it’s mostly cyclical.

          They don’t need new data to sell, they just find a new client who doesn’t have your info yet.

      The point is that that’s in their own interest, because if they wouldn’t host it, they wouldn’t make any money.

      Source on it being billions? All I could find was that they get 76PB/yr, which doesn’t add up to multiple EBs.
