I think the average person just simply doesn't care about their privacy.
In some of the music communities I'm in the content creators are already telling their userbase to go follow them on threads. They're all talking about some kind of beef between Elon and Mark and the possibility of a boxing match... Mark was right to call the people he's leaching off of fucking idiots.
I think that it's a little bit of don't care and a little bit of that it's a ton of work I think. It's a lot of work if you actually use online services because they all want your data. You have to be very aware of every app and site that you visit. Changing settings, browser extensions, complex opt out methods. It's more effort than a lot of people will make.
