You don't have to be 100% dedicated to privacy.
I implement measures to protect my privacy when I can, but sometimes I forego it for convenience or access to something I need.
For example, I refused to give OpenAI my phone number to use ChatGPT. But I have a WhatsApp account. Better Meta having my phone number than both Meta and OpenAI.
Well said. Privacy shouldn't be thought of as "all or nothing" but instead as a spectrum, because being completely private is practically impossible for most people and that mentality can lead you to not trying at all.
