That’s true, of course, but there’s a difference between paying and being exploited.

If they want this product to be profitable, then cheating by giving users something that steals their information is not the way.

Crowdfunding is good, donates are good, paid software is good even. Or paid services for free and FOSS software.

One of the reasons paying for software is not very popular is because it was historically kinda hard to just pay on a website. But now people do that all the time.
