I'm not even sure poll results would be included in a request to not sell info, since the overall results aren't personalized at all and the information is being voluntarily given. The stuff covered under that request would be the more invasive data collection: Where you're posting from, various analytics of what you're saying, demographic information (both from your ISP and building a profile from what your posts indicate), which boards/topics you frequent... The extent to which social media collects data on its users is far, far greater than most people realize, and there's no reason to expect GameFAQs to be an exception to that. --- This is my signature.

Ferretgeist 11/19/21 2:10:06 PM #14:	What exactly do you expect? We're living in a world where people are paid to play video games, or make videos of their dog. Everything has a price, if you didn't notice. Add in the terrible job market, low wages for soul crushing labor, and other ridiculous things going on, well, no kidding- if you have a high traffic site, it's going to be monetized. Video games are a multi-billion dollar global industry of incredible influence. All of this isn't set up don't just so you can feel good, or because it would be "nice." They do it to acquire money, and keep you buying things. <cite>Ferretgeist posted [p:960149778] in Gamefaqs s... [t:79767228]...</cite> <quote>What exactly do you expect?
