in my eyes they put themselves in an awkward position by garnering a reputation of always collecting more user data than justified, and at this point i assume they do the same with paid products as it’s an industry norm. however I’m not ok with it and will never pay when the product doesn’t respect privacy. the saying used to be “if you don’t pay, you’re the product”, but it is increasingly shifting to: you’re the product and also you have to pay so that our shareholders can experience more infinite growth
