Show companies that your value of privacy trumps the value they get from the data. For example, how much would you pay for a version of YouTube where they don't log your views at all? Would you pay $30/month for it? I think today companies believe you don't really value it. You just give it lip service. I suspect if we show (financially) how much we value it, we'll see them respond.

You can throw money at your screen, but it doesn't change the fact that there is no amount of money you can pay google to not track you. Second, the data they extract from you is far more valuable than what anyone would pay. Besides that, there is absolutely nothing preventing them from taking your money and tracking you anyway. Even if they don't at first, a corporation cannot resist the 'free' revenue gained by tracking you and selling that data. This is simply not something that the market can correct. It must be a legal mechanism enforced by the government.
