There are very few things in life that folks are forced to do, but I don't think they should be prohibited from voicing their concerns when a place they used to frequent has taken a turn.
Personally, I've adopted your assertion that "no one is forced" and have not participated regularly in over a year; even though I did for the 15 years prior.
Your "concern" boils down to "Boo hoo, people aren't expressing their fandom in ways that I approve of".
Thankfully in the world we live in there are multiple alternatives where you won't be data-mined or supporting a platform that enables child predators (no seriously, Discord has a history of that).
Cincy Jungle has a game thread. Reddit has a Bengals community. Shit, you could always step outside and go to a bar and watch it with either Bengals fans or football fans in general. The Bengals are at a point now where there will be plain old football fans watching their games too. We're a nationally acclaimed team now.
