Like i said below, the most obvious expectation was thinking that they would monetize with ads, which is why people didn't think twice about this. There's a difference between ad supported businesses and business that actually directly sell user data behind the scenes. Equating all the ad-supported businesses with this case is not really fair because the types of businesses you're talking about here are not actually literally selling you out. They are simply pushing you ads on THEIR platform which YOU agreed to use. Sure there are lots of shady things going on in this department as well, but it's a completely different game than what this looks like. Based on this article it looks like they took your data and actually sold it to a third party, this is different from simply displaying ads on their platform. They literally sold you. And it happened OFF of the platform you signed up for.
