When it comes to "free" services/products, where do you draw the line on how your personal data/activity is used/monetized? (sh.itjust.works)

Edited to clarify.

Things to consider: How much of your data would you be comfortable letting Lemmy sell vs Reddit? If Zuck treated users better, would you be more accepting of Meta monetizing your data every way possible? When it comes to using something for free (tangible or intangible) do you accept a company selling your personal information if their practices align with what you feel is fair?

I still use reddit because my city has a bunch of hookup subs. I had to block almost up to the 1000 user limit, but I've met three people off there. Would be even easier if I wanted a threesome with a reddit married couple (I'm good!!!!!)

But I don't use it for anything else lmao
