You don’t think they would realize if something like this was happening and shout it from the rooftops?

Nope. Too many people are just trying to collect a paycheck. This is testable without access to the backend or source code and too many sociopaths work in the industry. My default is to distrust anything when the other party has a profit motive to lie. It's anti-skeptical, but you have to prove that they aren't spying on me if you want me to trust something.

Okay so address my fundamental point which is show me the evidence because otherwise you're living in exciting reality of your own creation. I am positive it is very fun in there, but it doesn't have much to do with here on Earth

Come leave here on the other side of the reality curtain we have donuts.
