"A few years ago I wasn't thinking about any of this. I was working sixty-plus hours a week, raising kids, coaching volleyball, running a scouts group. Privacy wasn't on my radar — not because I didn't care, but because I simply didn't have the bandwidth to notice. I was too busy living my life to think about who was watching it.
Most people are in that position right now. Not indifferent — just busy. Overwhelmed. Trying to keep up with work and family and everything else, with no mental space left over to worry about whether their smart fridge is selling their grocery habits to advertisers."

@RaffKarva That blog post was very thoughtful and humane...I'm currently in the position that, I'm actively considering a privacy first approach. It will be a boss battle as there are things that I gradually need to change. I already use a VPN, Linux, Android (with some privacy friendly choices that don't fully break the experience). One day, I'll find a privacy focused ROM that will be compatible with my current phone; keeping it in use and not adding it to the ever growing pile of E-Waste which I find legitimately concerning.
