Businesses like this always end up veering towards changing privacy policies to the worse.

And depending on your threat model, not even a good privacy policy is enough.

What do you mean "like these"?

Usually businesses changing privacy policies are the ones without a revenue model that need to figure it out somehow, and aim to IPO.

10$/month way more revenue than they could be able to get with ads, and sure, let's hope they don't want to IPO, because that's the root of all enshittification.
