Data collection is common, but should forums profit from user information? Do you think transparency and user consent are enough, or should forums avoid data monetization altogether? Where do you draw the line on privacy?

Selling user data in forum monetization can be ethically and legally questionable. It raises privacy concerns and can damage trust. Instead, focus on ethical monetization strategies, like ads, premium memberships, or affiliate marketing, while protecting user privacy and adhering to data protection regulations like GDPR.
