In the context of VPNs for example. Some VPNs store and provide information about what sites you go to third parties. Third parties analyze it and figure out what adds to show you. Hmm… then let them show me those adds they want to show me. I do hate adds as a whole and use an add blocker, thus. But I couldn’t care less what particular type of adds they show me, they are still adds.
Someone knows what sites I go, what then. If someone curiously inquired me on this type of information I’d tell them without giving a second thought. Incomparably larger amount of data I put out just by making comments and posts by the way.
For me it’s the fact that this entire industry runs on information gathered about me. I don’t like to be their currency and so try to hide from them.
your ego is so fragile it crumbles at the thought of some algorithms knowing what porn you jack off to, isn’t it
