That $10 won't give you any real privacy. They will still collect every bit they can about you.

The $10 will just not give you targeted ads. Most likely, they will still select things for you based on your profile and also sell information from that profile to the real customers.

Bingo. They don't give you targeted ads through their own platform, but the info is for sale for everyone else to do so.
