They meticulously track how customers engage with licensed products. This data then becomes a valuable asset in multiple ways.Firstly, it allows them to offer movie studios targeted tools to garner more engagement from their super fans. Additionally, they provide advertising opportunities for these studios, utilizing the insights gained from data collected by users on their platform. Beyond advertising, the company sells aggregated engagement data, offering a deeper understanding of customer behavior and preferences. Lastly, Evil Genius conducts panels and polls specifically tailored for studios to gather direct consumer feedback, further informing future strategies and decisions."EGG shared this article, so we can assume they stand by the statements in it. Until shown otherwise we have to take them at their word that they have been harvesting and selling customer data while misleading their customers into thinking their data was only being used internally. Whether that was the ethical issue cited by the recent departures we don't know. But as it stands, it is unethical.</blockquote>
