   Of course they are.   
   Media makes money from advertising dollars. The more dollars companies can   
   charge for a given product advertised in the media, the more dollars for the   
   company but also for the media company.   
   The companies sifting and scraping user's data to sell are the ones making the   
   real money.

   The only semi effective way to limit this tactic is to become as anonymous   
   as possible.   
   And these days, that is darn near impossible.
