  Once it becomes popular … then they’ll play down their focus on wanting to track everything … dress it up in pretty colours and some kind of swoosh … then sell it as a feel good product … five years later everyone is complaining that they are being tracked and that the company is using hyper personalized ads

  To be fair, they’re targeting people who WANT to be tracked, in return for personalized ads. If that’s not you (or me), just ignore their entire platform.

  Bold move. Let’s see how it pans out.
