I do not feel that way, and was fascinated by the intensity with which some people on HN dislike metrics and adds. So I had tried an informal survey of people i knew, and out of 39 only 7 were somewhat concerned and some said they thought phones and tvs can capture video or audio and were not particularly concerned even with that. Another indirect piece of evidence is that even NSA backdoors did not get the attention they deserved.
