It still needs to be profitable for them. Why would they want non profitable content freeloading on their servers? No doubt it will be collected and sold, just a work in progress.

Why would it not be profitable, it's still user data?

They sell it to advertisers. We would be hard to target since were not on Metas platform. I would think it's worth less since its not immediately usable for stuffing an ad down our throats and pseudoanonymous.
