    Not sure why anyone would install that garbage. Even a one off install to check it out means it will upload lots of data.

      Some people simply do not care.

      Is it really that hard to understand that some people like the idea of participating in a community with all their friends and favorite content creators, and find the idea of getting access to this for free at the cost of some privacy that they don’t hugely value to be an acceptable enough trade?
