Blind, cant read pic.
My apologies. I will update it to have an accessible version.
Edit: accessible transcription has been added
How did you do that?
I'm using the voyager client on android. There's an option when you make/edit a post to add an accessible caption.
I use Voyager too. I'll take a look for that setting. Thanks
Essentially they claim they don’t sell data. They say instead they process it in house and just have advertisers indicate a certain desired profile and then yhey show the ads, without transferring info
Because everybody's totally going to believe that. LOL.
Selling it would be bad business. By just offering ad targeting to their customers, the customers keep coming back. Once they sell it the customer doesn't need them anymore. (used to work in an advertising-based internet business. This is how it's done.)
If that's true, sure. Then they'd not be selling data but profiting off it.
bro, just feel the letters.
Blind people can't feel you idiot
Wtf is wrong with you?
lol, what? thought they'd find it funny.
