That's the thing, people actually think their data matters. It doesn't. Your a point in a multi billion point multimillion dimensional cloud. Your data doesn't matter. Yeah, data farms can glean data trends from populations, but there's infinite ways to do this and most aren't actually concerned about who "you" are, but what "people" are doing. In short, you're not that important, you're not being individually spied on, get over yourself. You're uninteresting as fuck.

It's a matter of perspective. My particular data doesn't matter to a company in the grand scheme of things; they will be fine without it. But it matters to me. I have to deal with the spam. I have to answer the robocalls. I have to worry about my personal details being leaked. I have to deal with identity theft targeting me. There's only one person who's concerned about me - me.

I want to avoid the hassle because it affects me and my life. I might not be important to others, but I'm important to myself. Don't tell me to get over myself.
