When you try to inform them. They make the argument about having nothing to hide or what do they care. Everyone harvests data anyway. It does not matter.
Until they complain about paying for “Youtube Red” (or was it “Redtube You?” Terrible name).
Then you hit them with “oh yeah fuck paying them, do you have an android?”
“No, iPhone.”
“Oh well then yeah you’re fucked. If you had android I could transfer you the F-Droid APK and you could download Newpipe, or Grayjay, or YTDL-nis. iPhone doesn’t approve those apps in the store and you can’t install software from elsewhere, so, sucks.”
After a few of those and some “I can teach you how to pirate anything if you have a PC or android phone” they start thinking about it ime. Still few converts, but some!
Absolutely. The general population is braindead when it comes to privacy and digital rights and it gets worse with newer generations as 24/7 connectivity and everything being online is the norm for them. As long as they can watch some social media slop they are satisfied. I believe the proliferation of AI will accelerate this as people delegate their critical thinking faculties to machines and accept big tech’s propaganda as gospel. Chatgippity knows best, right?
