Sure but people understand the basic transaction (give money -> get milk). If on the other hand they gave you free milk but tracked your milk usage without telling you, I'd argue that's a non-consensual transaction and falls under stealing (roughly).

What about if someone gives you a free lunch but doesn’t tell you that they’re going to film you eating? Is that stealing?

More sinister than actually, "film you taking a shit and then sell it". As perverse as it sounds, but you won't even know it.

I actually got rejected from YC Summer 2019 with this idea. Demo Day would’ve been one to remember.
