You're skipping the part about the advertising surveillance. If you were my friend and asked me to hang out, that's cool. If you were my friend but asked me to hang out where everything we did was knowingly by you subject to likely to have some company's algo running and attempting to influence what we did while hanging out, then yes, I'd say you were an asshole for a friend.
I didn't skip that. I said "You brought up a good point". I agree it was a good point. But they ruined the argument a bit by being overly dramatic. It would have been better to skip the judgmental snide remark at the end so we could have focussed on the good point.
