What constitutes Usage Data. Is it sharing the posts I view, communities I subscribe to etc?

Does paying for a premium version stop this data being collected?

      “Benefit of the doubt” does not mean “blindly trust”…?

      Listen you can do what you want if you feel your privacy is being violated, but this particular developer is not scamming anyone. He has an established history of not giving a fuck about your user data, which is backed up by other users verifying that the data tracking ends when ads are removed.

        To be fair yes, the developer does have a reputation but the app isn’t open source so you can’t fully verify anything.

          You can directly analyze the calls the app is making so you can fully verify it even without the source code.

          Stop spreading technical misinformation.

      Trusting someone based on your previous experience with them and or a reputation they’ve earned, however is one of the cornerstones of society.

      There’s nothing blind about it. I can see what trackers are being attempted on each app on my phone and sync stopped as soon as I purchased ultra.

      So in other words, you’re making a blanket statement without any contextually relevant examples to support it. Almost like youre just fear mongering and don’t have an actual argument. Got it.
