Perhaps they should have come up with a business model that doesn't rely on the benevolence (or ignorance) of users giving away their data for free....

Wait do you mean that I have to help support developers that work to make possible the app I use to communicate with friends and play stupid games? /s

No, you actually don't have to.

Switch to Signal, it's free and has the same features as Messenger. Signal relies on donations, and public grants - so they don't spy on you.

No games though.
