How much? 2 bucks per user?

Their paid users shell out 3 a month...

And then you think of the real world

> secretly selling your IDs data behind your back, they have to account for that revenue in their books, put it in their privacy policies or do it illegally, it's weak to whistleblowers, third parties get breached all the time (as well as yourself), and you have to trust the people you're selling this to. It's not credible.

How many users are paying? a few million? How many use the service for "free"? A few hundred million? Are you stupid?

  • >How many users are paying?

    7.3 million paying every month

    >How many use the service for "free"?

    143 million times maybe 2 bucks once. Most likely five cents once.

    >Are you stupid?

    • While what GP said was not worded how the site rules say it should be, your original point is very tedious and can only be read charitably if we assume you never read any news or barely retain anything. We are currently on a news website. I think if you want non-commenting readers to see your point and have charitable thoughts of you it would help to explain why you're ignoring reality for whatever it is you are positing (consumer protections because of subscriptions? really? for this corporation?).

      What you're saying in this post essentially just underlines GPs point, which I imagine isn't what you're trying to communicate. You have to help a reader understand your point of view, especially if it's far removed from objective reality (which is that a corporate entity will betray you for money, regardless of whether that makes sense long-term).
