Reply to comment by Mission-Simple-5040 in ELI5: Why does Google offer all these free services like Google Docs, Sheets, Drive, Sites, Forms, etc. without any ads on them? How does Google benefit from this and why do they invest so much in creating and maintaining them? by Elena_Edie
Data about data. For example, when you make a survey, the actual answers are the data and the information about the person (gender, age, ...) could be considered metadata.
In this case they mean metadata in files. For example, when you take a picture, the actual pixel information is the data and other stuff (location, time the picture was taken, phone model, exposure time, ...) is the metadata.

I am an engineer at Audi. I've developed the R8, Lamborghini Huracan, Q7, Porsche Cayenne, Lamborghini Usus, Bentley Bentayga and so on.
Yes, those cars feel different but you still realize your speed. You feel at 200km/h as safe as if you are driving 120km/h in a shitty car. But you still understand that you are not going 120km/h.
I once drove a prototype with a setting to MPH. It took me under 5 seconds to realize that. The same was true for a colleague who didn't drive prototypes on a regular basis.
