That’s not even less bad, that’s totally reasonable. If you use free shit that isn’t open source, they are going to monetize you somehow.

If you like a product and don’t want them to use your data to make money, then pay for it.

    This is beyond monetizing, this is IP theft. They are only getting away with it because capitalism.

  • Good point, but the gist is that our system is fucked up because corporations get to steal work to make profits off it. This is more like copyright. And yes, protecting creative work to a certain degree while not overreaching is really tricky.
