When did you first realize that social media and the big brand tech companies were out to monetize you as their product? For me it was probably only really the last 3 - 5 years. I never really thought of the motivations of a company to let you use a product for free. I didn't realize I was the product and my data was their incentive. #surveillancecapitalism #privacy

Privacy is a constantly evolving journey. Start by looking through your inbox and unsubscribing from that marketing list you don't read anymore. Delete (not deactivate) the old accounts. It's not a bad start. Reduce the risk of you being breached. Every little bit helps.

If you're privacy minded you might appreciate ProtonMail. Right now Proton Mail has big discounts on their subscription services for Black Friday. Encrypted drives, unlimited email alias addresses (on some plans), proton authenticator and password keeper to name a few. Integrate your Gmail, Outlook and other privacy invasive services with ease (and phase them out) I'm not affiliated but i know value when i see it. Pay in BTC if you need to.
