Yeah Grammarly was selling all your data LONG before the AI showed up.

Funny how some people are only nervous now that their data might be used to train a language model. I was always more worried about spooks! :)

It’s a phone app, you can trust it as much as you trust Google/Apple.

Couldn’t you just ignore the ads?

That’s not how ads work, they are extremely manipulative and leave lasting impressions on your psyche, even if you conciously reject their message.

Signal is a smartphone app, so you can trust it as much as you trust smartphones. :) It is more reliable and user friendly however, which is important too.
