I honestly feel defeated right now, it feels like currently it’s impossible to truly stay private online unless one is willing to move to a cabin in the woods with no internet and you stop using tech all together and truly become a ghost and stay offline. Can someone help me feel like everything I am currently doing is actually making a difference? Because right now it doesn’t feel like it.
My take is that they don’t track you for fun. They track you to sell you shit. Most people buy what they see in ads and believe fake promotions so this is a good business model.
Best way to stay out is not to hide absolutely everything. It’s to block ads and don’t buy so much stuff. Obviously don’t give out data you don’t have to, block trackers, use privacy tools. But don’t feel bad if some data gets out. You will never block everything and a lot of it is not that important if you’re not playing the game.
