Privacy

For me, at least, that answer is very simple.

Spite. It's just spite. I had my data harvested and money made off my information without my consent, and without any reimbursement. I have been used and abused by these corporations, and I'm done putting up with it. I already don't give Meta and Amazon my money because I don't think they deserve it, I'm damn sure not letting them make even more free money by stealing from me.

I don't even care that much, really, about being private on the internet. I talk about a whole bunch of bullshit on here, loud and proud. But I do care about the naked lack of consent surrounding these practices.

I don't put up with people in my life snooping on my business and then trying to milk money out of me about it. Why would I put up with a corporation doing the same?
