ErosBlog: The Sex Blog

@ErosBlog Why are people using third-party "free" apps when iOS ships this as a feature? Apple ain't great but at least they don't sell your data.

Remember: if you're not paying, you are what is being sold. At least with Apple you pay upfront with the (expensive) hardware, and perhaps a services subscription on top.

@apicultor @ErosBlog if you are paying, why wouldn’t they sell you as well for some extra profit? Data harvesting has become so normalized that no one would even bat an eye at that
@enby_of_the_apocalypse @ErosBlog It shifts the expectation.
@ErosBlog @apicultor idk, I also usually assume things I pay for will harvest my data because I know it’s pretty common for them to do.
