Why do you think there is so much outrage on the internet these days ? It's a consequence of 2 decades of optimizing for engagement, because they make money not by providing a product people pay once and use at their will, but a product that gets a minuscule amount of cash any time someone does something with it. And this ad based system only works if you spy a lot on people. Everything is affected by this: the vaccine opposition in the covid crisis, the presidential election... Everything.
