That it is collected at all shows that, at least to data miners, a user's data has a value greater than the cost of collecting it.
- bri3d 2y agoNo, the data is collected for internal use by product managers. It has little value I'm aware of on the open market and is unlikely to be collected for sale. That's my entire point. Enshittification is Bad, yes, but it's also had an even more caustic knock-on effect where a certain subset of people assume every part of every piece of software is part of a gigantic conspiracy against them, and in turn become extremely non-curious about figuring out why and how things work the way they do.
