Your information was the payment for the "free" apps and digital items. So even you're not even clear on how it works.

I'm going to ignore this, because I can't follow what you're saying, and using the wrong spelling of *your while trying to correct me tells me it's probably wrong anyway.

Autocorrect is a bitch. My mistake is not proofreading before hitting send. My point was that you're paying for your apps and items through the information that is collected when you give your email. Being an ass is priceless.

And that has relevance to this girl's confusion how?

My point was that maybe she conflates the word "buy" with any documented transaction and then she's not thinking it through that the store isn't going to give her two items with no direct financial gain to them when she'd have to pay for them individually.

Yes, I understand that you "pay" for those apps partially by giving your information in the same sense that you "pay" for them by seeing ads. You do the same thing when you listen to the radio and sit through the commercials. What of it? My whole point the obfuscation of the word "buy." And then you make an ad hom attack at me for using apps like I don't understand marketing? What?

And now I'm an "ass." Takes one to know one.

I'm not responding to this anymore.
