On that topic alone of Google monitoring your reading to figure out what it 
is that you like to read and then presenting you with similar offerings.... 

I have a free Amazon Vine account which allows me to order from Amazon 
three items a day of up to $100 each without cost, shipping or taxes.

For *that* account, Amazon also monitors my purchases, and then it offers 
me free stuff (up to $100 per item, 3 a day) that fits my buying patterns. 

Surprisingly, that's a kind of monitoring & offering that I actually like!
