    This is why I went back to using money. I think this means we some corporation tracking what I was buying, removing products we bought from shops at times, editting ingredients of products, resizing products we buy,, bringing in climate change laws to tax products we buy, doing weird things to people via this tracking, getting in on food stores and suppliers to track what we buy. Creeps. i honestly think this level of tracking is dangerous rather than helpful, if these "people" see people enjoying something often times they spoil it. I woule spend paper money where ever possible.

    This video was a disappointment. I was expecting some insightful answer to why tech firms are getting into finance. The closest this video came to addressing that was saying that a record of your financial transactions is useful to advertisers. While this may be true for Google (as its primary business is advertising), Facebook simply does not have a US competitor to Apple Pay or Google wallet, and Apple preaches privacy like its bottom line depended on it. This video brings me no closer to understanding the rise of FinTech.
    A word of constructive advice, take a look at CNBC’s videos on the same topic. None of them are shorter than 10 minutes and all provide in-depth explanations

Their intention is for the big tech companies to track your buying habits so they can bombard them with ads based on their purchases. This is the frontier of absolute control over people and their finances. No thanks, I like the little privacy I have left.
