The research in this space is far from simple. It is true that for very little in return users will tend to share.[1] And it is also well established that users will overshare.[2] And so what you say is likely to be true IFF users gain something of value to them. But this being the case, I think what you're asking is actually not relevant in this case. Users have the option of setting or not setting a bit, and content providers have the option of honoring or ignoring it.
