Also signed up. They can have my phone number. What are they going to do with it? Target advertising at me?

To be honest, I'm a bit past caring about companies selling my data. They've built up enough of a profile of me in my 30+ years of being online, I'm not getting away from that. There's a multitude of my namesakes online who are much more interesting and successful than me and I'm pretty well hidden generally.

This sounds interesting enough to me that they can have my phone number. In 10 years time I'll be living in a forest in a cabin, living off the land and staying well offline.




That's assuming they unified your profile and your interests, politics, and purchase desires remain the same.

I've received terrible targeted ads so either they're good at fooling me they're bad or they're actually bad.
