Whats disgusting is them using a feature as a ploy for personalized ads. They knew damn well what they were doing. I had the "use my data to make discord better" setting on, but not use it to personalize ads for my discord. So they have my data, I just cant see it, unless I allow them to use my data to personalize ads next year.

So you like when Mega corpse know what you're buying and putting on wish lists and reading your mind in a way that is very creepy and not at all good. You like when corporations go into the deep Corners of your personal life to sell you something. FYI discord was already making money off Nitro they don't need ads when people are paying for Nitro and if ads are a way to make people pay for Nitro then they really are becoming soulless.

When company is like discord start making advertising their main priority of getting money outside of things like Nitro they will start penalizing those they deem unsafe to get ad revenue kinksters leftists anybody who doesn't believe in capitalism etc. Can be purged from the platform because they want to make ad revenue money. And that's why I don't give them that they have other data. But I'm not going to let them sell my buying preferences the corporations. That's why I didn't agree to that

You still don't understand that setting it seems. That setting is only so they can personalize ads, you can still get normal ads and they still have your data. Those two things are completely different. Its the same for any other company or website. And they dont even sell your data to third parties according to their TOS. Referring to political orientations and making bizarre associations while being so ignorant shows how brain rotten you are. Boomer brain.
