Look up specifically what Admob, Crashlytics, and Firebase analytics track.
That’s the thing about data collection: its a lot of money to store. How are they funding the operation unless turning you into the product?
Are you referring to data on users, or data on the products this app tracks? The app doesn’t need to store user data beyond what is required for it to function. Even if it stored such data, each user will only take up a few kilobytes because it’s just text data.
As for the data on the products, by far the largest files would be images. The rest is just text data.
Standard Google Cloud Storage is $0.20/GB per month. There’s no need for this app to store 16k+ photos, so the actual storage costs are negligible.

I had the exact same issue with an Asus laptop from a few years before yours.
It was fucking bullshit.
- Comment on Why people are boycotting Asus all of a sudden? Asus outrage explained 6 months ago:
Asus has always just seemed like a glossier Acer with higher prices and worse quality.
I personally hate their ROG gamer aesthetic and think whoever came up with that should’ve been fired and blacklisted from the industry.

Boycotts work.

No it doesn’t.

He doesn’t know but still wanted to feel useful.

I’m guessing you have no idea what those technologies do.
Google Admob is literally for serving ads.
Crashlytics is for monitoring crashes.
Firebase analytics is for monitoring firebase usage, which is required for things like push notifications when using firebase.
Try uploading an app to the Google Play store yourself before you spread FUD on matters you know nothing about.

Zionists don’t play fair.
They are religious nationalists, after all.
- Comment on Promoted on TikTok, ‘No Thanks’ boycott app targets products tied to Israel 6 months ago:
Interesting. I’m definitely going to be checking this out.
If I have to decide between two products and one of them has fewer ties to Israel, you know which one I’m going to pick.
- Comment on Court upholds New York law that says ISPs must offer $15 broadband 6 months ago:
I pay $25/month for unlimited data with Visible.
It’s not quite broadband speed, but it’s pretty close and certainly enough for most internet usage.
I’m usually streaming games at 1080p to multiple chatrooms on a laptop with no issues.
It’s definitely possible to have landline broadband at $15/month, but all the excess profits these people have been making are going to be used to protect more profits.

Where the fuck do these groups get their money?
Don’t tell me it’s from profiting off of morons?
