"your data for what"
These days, it would seem that the ability to post inane tweets, a picture of your meal or some other equally useless thing is quite enough to validate the usage of people's data.
The only reason we're having this discussion is because people don't actually care what they are being used for on the Internet. There appears to be a general approach of "I can do whatever I want, there are no consequences and I will use anything that is free without thinking".
As long as the majority think that way, companies will be able to get away with a lot. That is why GDPR is likely the best thing to happen to the Internet in general. Only the fines will keep companies in line.
