You just spent $000s of dollars giving them business - it wasn't a free transaction (although obviously the understanding was that you wouldn't just walk into a business and get a TV for free). One way or another costs are transferred to the consumer.

Here's a cool experiment I suggest you can try.
Setup duckduckgo as your default search engine in chrome Search for any text Now open myactivity.google.com
I searched for "I hate cabbage". See attached screenshot

Maybe it's chrome that's the culprit.
But my point is that even though DuckDuckGo is doing it's part to keep your search private... Someone else still knows what you searched in Chrome. That someone is tracking your activity and the details it stores are scary
(Just browse through the "myactivity" entries and you would be amazed at what is stored about you)

it is, but it's very difficult to get online-privacy now a days. You can lookup articles about it such as "There is No Such Thing as True Privacy in the Digital Age"
Here's some scary stuff:
