You can see from Wikipedia that after Jenni finished this experiment, she significantly changed her habits in a privacy-protective direction and now has virtually no public persona.

I tried some experiments around 1998 with a script on my web page where I would self-report my location to the public (aspirationally on an hourly basis, but in practice probably less than once a day). I admit that at that time I had an argument with a friend about whether location privacy was worth worrying about. My answer nowadays is definitely yes, but I also still appreciate the difference between intentionally sharing information about yourself (including "oversharing") and having someone else monitor you, your whereabouts, your communications, etc.
One difference is that in the former case, if you decide you have an adversary of some sort, you can stop sharing (or reduce your sharing, or make it less accurate). In the latter case, you can't make these changes so readily.
As soon as Jenni wanted to stop sharing, she stopped.
