A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Well, I feel a decent amount of people knew it was selling their data, and just used it anyway thinking they'd get a discount from that sold data. Unfortunate but the modern reality we live in, and hey, nobody's perfect as we're all probably using a service or two that it's totally bad for you (especially games)
But straight up stealing money from the YouTubers who thought they were getting sponsorship money? Now that shits crazy, and sounds illegal from the start. I mean how did they plan to respond to this once they were found out? Call me a fool but I wouldn't expect a company to literally steal from their advisers/promoters.
