There isn't much to tell. We gather conversations and analyse it to understand consumer behaviour, trends, campaign performance etc.

If you don't want your data showing up in social listening tools, make your social accounts as private as possible.

    I can tell you from the perspective of someone working in consumer insights for a consumer company, sales and retail data is far more important and influences decisions way more.

    So I'd say put your money where your mouth is. If you don't like certain companies or brands stop buying their products. If you think groceries are getting expensive buy cheaper alternatives or private labels. You can do this with a lot of non-food grocery items. Private label is almost always cheaper and you get pretty much the same shit as global brands.

    I see a lot of conversations of people mentioning how expensive things have gotten, yet we see in sales data that our expensive products sell more (this is also due to the fact that more ad dollars are spent on higher margin products) but try and buy cheaper alternatives whenever you can.
