First time commenter here and I’m happy to be doing so on this particular subject. I could not agree more with the original comment! I believe a disappointing amount of people on this god forsaken planet have developed prejudices towards others due in large part to society’s propensity to gather the answers to questions used to describe or narrow down a person’s “type”. Information gathered about an individual in the process of signing up with or for a group or program shouldn’t go beyond what’s necessary to collect money for a service. It shouldn’t be illegal to collect descriptive information during an onboarding process. It’s useless for any purpose other than as a tool for development of sources of additional revenue or to “label” an individual. I’m a big not fan of personal information gathering by organizations so I go above and beyond to fill those databases with as much garbage as is humanly possible. As far as I’m concerned, I believe it should just not be gathered. Whenever I find that it is nowadays, I fill in the “boxes” with utter lies and misinformation about myself, especially when I’m in front of someone who is obviously able to and will likely, instantly, conduct a fact check.
