Many tech companies use people for financial gains collecting data from work or tasks of users at no gain or extensive knowledge of it given to the user and the data gathered is owned, used or sold by the company.

Other industries may use internships at no cost or little pay for extended periods time.

Others dodge taxes by selling assets for next to nothing.

Others get used by their willingness to care for others.

this is what I would call…

indenture devaluation
the abuse of legal agreements, or ones ambition, love, task or product of work without rights of work, collection or partial derivatives there of, obtained with little or no financial cost for significant financial benefit, or ownership of asset(s) including intellectual property obtained without comparable remittance

I am not a lawmaker, my attempt to sound like a lawmaker, probably not completely sound and more complicated. It seems as though too many things get given a free pass thru complex legal loopholes, and peoples enjoyment is being profited from without proper compensation and competence. The rule shouldn’t be you have to hate what you do, then you get paid, and your pursuit of happiness is for others to profit off of.

However, ‘indenture devaluation’ to me is morally wrong and disheartening and probably is for many others. People essentially will work, to be done, for no pay. Should be labeled and illegal, no matter the privacy policy, any agreement or lack of agreement. You should not be able to sign away your civil rights in an agreement, only in court. Your words, your pen, your paper.

Wanted to make this clear, as there is work on an educational/business related app. That the apps are not designed to take peoples use of app or software for any benefit other than the users, and disclose all benefits formed from data.

This is why there is a price for the apps made here, instead of baiting and hooking. These apps are not expensive. In one day you might tip a bartender or service provider more for minutes or purchase water at more cost. In some cases these apps took multiple months of work. This current one I am working on took decades to find the meaningful insight to develop. They are not flawless. If you do buy or get for free (yes I still give away for free many times in the year to increase downloads), please give them a chance and review them. By purchasing or reviewing you may give other creations and further work a chance. Many different ideas on image and audio processing, art, games and helpful apps are thought of, but development is getting harder to justify and continue.

As of now,
No intent to have extra purchases, No intent to include advertisements, No intent on collection of data.

Thanks to anyone who has purchased or mentioned the work, and those who took the time to review (even the bad ones) There is hope to provide meaningful updates, more art, and creative ideas. This task is seeming less manageable from lack of financial gains.

Marketing, Advertisement and Data Collection is out-of-control and downright abusive intruding upon every American.
