In a way, my interest in internet privacy is almost always met with uninterested "ah" IRL. Even when I dont come off as preachy, when I just try to sell it as "watching YT without ads", people often don't care.
There was a time that I thought people didn't understand the consequences. Now I realize that most people are just entirely apathetic.
I am quite preachy about it and am universally met with "but why does it matter?" The future is gonna suck.
