Yeah I guess people doesn't really care all that much about giving information to big tech, it's so normalized today, in my university (I am a student) when I tell people I don't use Instagram or TikTok and whatnot they look at me like I am crazy, tbh maybe if we define crazy as "not doing what everyone around you does" maybe I am
I was one of those people some time ago. I remember doing it deliberately and saying "what will they do to me? Offer me a product that better suits my needs?"
I never had any issues because of that...
right now I decline each time, the more work it costs me, the more motivated I am to decline every single marketing consent.
I do it out of spite, because of all the enshitification happening to services I used to like, and I just try to make their life harder.
I really hope that Google will, some day, miss one cent needed for some huge multi billion deal thanks to my resistance! ;)
not all heroes wear capes
If people are going to talk about the details of their divorce in a tiktok video I doubt they care much that someone is tracking what products they looked at on amazon.
