V, I implore you to think with your mind, and not react with your heart.
Regardless of your intentions - every single reply to the A-B testing machine learning algos like Conspirologist and the other automated accounts, turns the users into the product.
You don't have to participate and be complicit for this to be true.
I don't like to toot my own horn so I removed my reply.

If it's free, you are the product. To someone.
So it doesn't even matter if it's free or costs money, anyone can use the data for what ever if it's publicly available. Where does this Conspirologist rumor come from? From my experience here, claims like this are almost always bullshit.
Same happens when you click a youtube link somebody leaves and then comment on it. Google tracks the ip address of anyone who recently watched that video and ties it to your online alias discussing it. Only takes 2 or 3 times before they have your online alias tied to your real you. It's why people who link directly to twitter , reddit, and youtube, are unwitting traitors.
Don't be a pushy, just give it to it. Are you afraid it's going to sign up for a credit card in your name and buy a lot of gay pornography? That's an irrational fear.

What did you expect? It'd be free?
Just like any drug, the first hits always free.
If it's free, you are the product.

This data is extremely valuable for machine learning algorithms (think GPT-3, but more so things like Palantir).
I'm not blaming you or anything silly. Merely pointing out that intent does not equal outcome.
I don't believe you are stupid enough to be oblivious to the threat here. I recognize that without this part of the community, participation lowers.
It's a catch-22. The same conundrum Justin and I discussed, many years ago. "Voat is just a social experiment" was always his reply.

They got you. It turns out anon has a real name, phone, address, and vaccination status.
