Some people pay for Discord and they still exploit their data.
Some people pay for Lichess and their whole website is free of charge without tracking/advertising.
Yes, things cost money. Yes, ideally those who can pay for it should. No, something being free doesn’t legitimize unethical means to make a profit.
