Also one or a few people turning it off doesn't matter much. The tech giants still get their demographic statistics from the ones who haven't (which is the larger percentage of the population). You could be spending money on things based on targeted ads for your demographic.

In other words, you are creeped out about wondering what they could do with your personal data if you turn it on. But you should be even more creeped out about how your daily decisions are already influenced by them using others data

    That's the funniest shit about this late stage capitalism. I just read somewhere that like a third of McDonald's customer base have been historically low income, and they just figured out a almost half of them have been priced out of their menu...

    Well yeah, there’s a reason it’s called late stage, not “yet another stage” or “completed”. The ouroboros is getting fat from it’s greedy feast.

    At a certain point the options became to slowly self destruct or accept defeat
