Mining our information and selling it has proven to be a 1 trillion dollar speculative industry. Not sure what they want to do with it outside of trying to sell me shit I don't want, don't need and don't have money for. Maybe someone will notice that people aren't buying stuff based on ads, then the economy will be in trouble.
It's not just about what objects they think they can sell you... It is much more impactful than that. Check out the documentary "The Great Hack"
