No man I get the point of paid apps. I don't think it should collect and sell data. That's the poison pill with this whole deal.
It's my understanding that Boost don't serve ads, and doesn't track data, if you pay for it.
The point is it doesn't, it serves ads if you don't pay. It doesn't sell data, just uses google adsense to serve ads.
The other point where it collects and shares data with third parties is when connecting to third party servers (lemmy). That's it...
Google adsense collects data.
I think you're missing the point intentionally
