You are paying for the "free" service with that data. Why would they pay you? That makes no sense.

What about when you pay for the service but they still collect your data?

Well that's a whole different case. Then they indeed should either pay you or not collect the data.

That’s my point. Let people make that decision if they want it for free with no privacy or paid with privacy.

It’s a scam how much we are tracked without real consent and/or compensation.
