For example, I have been using Google or Apple for 7 years, and seeing that I was fingerprinted, tracked through third-party cookies, etc. I want to switch to a more private option.
But is it worth it? They know about me, they have now AI that can just use the behavior pattern for the last 7 years and still track me.
Again the question comes, should I become "privacy-focused" despite my data before I was "privacy-focused" used and sold?
Well... I am still on YouTube, no good gaming videos on Rumble and Odysee.
It depends on your threat model. Do you think Google knowing your video watching preference is dangerous? For me I don't care if Google knows my music and video preferences in general. If I'm watching things that I don't want Google to know I use Newpipe on a VPN. But sensitive document uploaded to Google drive? Not anymore.
