Not necessarily. With some forms od tracking being curbed, just being sent the who accesses which webpage on what device when (the bare minimum for attestation) has lots of value. And google won't stop at the bare minimum of data grabbing, of course.

This has to be false. If only 'er' remained, the 'Twitt' would have been removed. But the twit is still in charge.
X.de (German TLD) is even for sale right now and they still didn't grab it.
Not guaranteed, but it might help you turn a 44 billion dollar company into a billion dollar company.
They haven't even secured x on some big TLDs, their design process is not the only issue.
It doesn't even have to be extinguishing. It's bad enough if meta can reap the benefits of associating with FOSS (better privacy for example), while making their app the gateway to the fediverse. And of course that app will be spyware with social media on top. It's like greenwashing.
It's Terry, so it's good. But as someone who buys expensive leather shoes due to fucked up feet and good shoes increasing the time until the hurt, it absolutely tracks. I've been using my 250€ leather shoes for three years now and they're still OK. 75€ standard sneakers I used before had holes in the soles within a year.
Reddit is currently trying to monetize their user comments and other content by charging for API access. Which creates a system where only the corporations profit and the users generating the content are not only unpaid, but expected to pay directly or are monetized by ads. And if the users want to use the technogy trained by their content they also have to pay for it.
Sure seems like a great deal for corporations and users getting fleeced as much as possible.
It means the person you are replying to is a troll or a moron. Or both.
