I gave up trying to avoid to be surveilled. It takes a lot of energy, I lose out on too much utility, I make it into the data anyway transitively from sources I don't control, and finally I don't feel any more interesting than the rest of the world. If I get uniquely screwed over somehow, so be it.
I don't think it's worth dedicating even 2% of someone's day to avoiding surveillance. But I do think it's sad how many people don't realize all the utility they are gaining is lost once surveilled. There are ways around majorly bad surveillance activities that don't cost much money or time. The 80-20 is completely worth it.
