    Remember, if you are getting something for free (including a discount) in exchange for using an app, you’re paying for that in data.

    Some people don’t care about that, lots of people care an awful lot about that. Sure you’ll get a McDouble for cheaper but you’ll also be receiving scam phone calls every day for the rest of your life as McDonald’s sells your personal data to anyone who bids for it.

      Very true - I do use burner emails and remove trackers. Fortunately my spam filter for phone calls works well, but yeah, they gonna get dat data.
