You guys are twisting yourself in knots about Spez. This isn't the doing of one person. This is the inevitable conclusion of every business model where you aren't the paying customer. You are cattle. Kept alive just minimally to be slaughtered and sold to the highest bidder. The advertisers get new features. You are catered to only so much to keep you on the platform, but your comfort will be sacrificed the instant there is profit to be made.

Doesn't matter if you pay or how much, they're all collecting your data now because no one gives a shit at the end of the day.
