If the dev tells you “information gathering is deactivated for users who pay.” you won’t believe them, you’ll just move the goalpost and ask that they prove it by releasing their code, which they won’t do because their app isn’t open source and you’ll conclude that because they won’t prove it then we should just assume that they do.

People have checked. The only data collection is for ads, and it doesn’t load the module at all if you have ads disabled.
I’m not the one that needs convincing!
You’re really overthinking this buddy and making a lot of assumptions. And not to mention wasting your own damn time.
I’m wasting yours at the same time so it’s not a bad trade-off 🙂
