I used to be very into privacy, and in my case it became a sort of purist extremism where I felt a sort of superiority for using tools that were open-source, private or disconnected from the internet. I deleted all my social accounts etc. when I saw that despite my efforts, companies were still able to track, target and advertise to me, and in more ingenious ways than I could combat, I lost interest. not to say that privacy isn't important or that I don't take steps to maintain mine, but along the way I accepted a certain level of giving up privacy in order to have a sane life.
