Right, I get that, but a normal person will just say they already have all my data there's nothing we can do, why care. They have kids and rent to pay.
I don't know about you, but at least in my circle, being "sick and tired of this shit" is becoming extremely normal.
People hate Windows. They hate how apps become more complicated, not simpler. They hate how everything is becoming a subscription. They hate how keeping their files safe is a giant clusterfuck of managing half a dozen cloud services constantly sucking up every file from every one of their devices. They hate how TVs aren't just fucking TVs anymore. They hate how their toaster, oven, dishwasher, and coffee maker needs wifi. They hate how all their favorite things are fragmeneted across a dozen streaming services again. They hate how work involves figuring out a dozen chat apps plus email, a dozen file processing programs, and how all their names and icons keep changing and their prices keep increasing. They hate how remembering up to a hundred account password is an absolutely catastrophy. They hate how their purchases don't last. They hate how "no" doesn't exist anymore in marketing...
I could go on.
Speak to literally anyone, and they've DEFINITELY picked up on at least some part of this, and it has them absolutely livid about how unfair it is.
The market is right for disruption. Anyone who can deliver real privacy without invest and harmful facial recognition and identity verification can topple Fortune 500 companies. These companies are also simultaneously betting the farm on generative AI which will almost certainly lose them enough money that many will close up shop. Oracle is basically done for, for example, because they invested so much money into an AI data center for opening eye that when an opening I inevitably does not have the money to pay for it they will go bankrupt. The harms from this invasive tackle are not only well known but will only compound and people will start to feel unsafe using them soon
This stuff is getting pushed in our face and is actively harmful. There is literally no benefit to the individual for this. What do I have to gain? The business is imposing this on us for their own gain.
If you dont do it, no play play for you.
Thats the reason people do it . they do not care. Tech corps have all the data already.
We were told it was just for pond sites, now it's video games and chat apps. It's spreading fast.
