Maybe this will actually make you ever so slightly less valuable to meta in the short term (presuming they honor your choices for these settings), but they’re still going to continue harvesting your data and can change their minds at any point in the future. Only way to truly become less valuable is to disappear from their gaze.
Or only post nonsense and AI slop.
Isn't that just their regular content?
