Just remember, if the app is "free" you are being the product.
I prefer the beneficiary model, instead of being data mined and sold behind my back.

Partiko is certainly not free. The signature after people's comment is the cost.

Also, on the Steem blockchain, there's no such thing as "selling users' data". We don't know the users email, their address, their school, their credit card number. Literally nothing.

And everything else, is public already.

The signature is a small cost for a user, but it wont cover your expenses.

The seed investors already have data on users email, their address, their school, their credit card number plus much much more.

What they dont have yet is users blockchain data, and to link the data they need apps like Partiko. They wont pay you for something that is already publicly available on the Steem blockchain.

I just hope Partiko wont become a tool for the bad actors thats all.
