There's another way to make the collection of personal information less economical, which we can all contribute to. Send GDPR and CCPA data requests. Each request incurs some small but not insignificant cost for the company to handle it. This is because the process is hard to automate. Don't spam companies just for the sake of sending requests, but do get in the habit of using them to reduce your exposure. Disclosure: I'm one of the founders of YourDigitalRights.org, a free service that makes it easy to send these sort of requests.
