Anything that makes money off of you. Or is using you somehow.
1. Internet was mentioned already.
2. Public TV would be another through commercials. Social programing on public TV could be said to be using you as well.
This saying obviously doesn't cover the full ramifications however.
3. You could say fruit is using you as carriers of seeds. Yet many fruits don't have living seeds now days.
It's no longer making use of you.
This last is the reason that saying is no longer popular among conservatives, who once often gave the last example. 🤣
The whole conservative philosophy is failing them little bit by little bit. So you have fanatics instead, that refuse to use science or nature as examples.
Why vaccines are not a good example of the saying. Vaccines have become necessary as a symbiosis. Like the seedless fruit.
Symbiotic things are good things. You have millions of symbiotic bacteria in you already. Same with symbiotic viruses.
And you would not exist without them.
Symbiosis is Democratic. And why Republicans despise vaccines and have become fanatical over the issue of vaccines.
