The “poor” seem to scrape by just enough to get access to Netflix, sports.. I don’t think this is a money issue.

  Having to choose between those things and privacy is definitely a money issue! It is not surprising that privacy looses in that case - it is opening up another huge can of worries. Entertainment is a source of relaxation, de-stressing as well as social connection (notice how much people talk about and group around the topics you mention).

    Having to choose between what is actually good for you and what is “relaxing” and then deciding to divert all available funds to “relaxation” is not a money issue.

      I think privacy is very important. But a social network is definitely more so! And many have that via sports, for example. And if someone thinks it best to spend money on Netflix over Fastmail, I definitely am not gonna shame them and say "that is not good for you"! Especially not if they are poor.
