Privacy Theater Everywhere

Privacy has turned into a marketing label, not a principle. Every damn product slaps “we care about your privacy” on their landing page while quietly running scripts that ping half the internet.

It’s all theater. Like those signs in restaurants saying “we care about hygiene” while a cockroach sprints across the floor.

Real privacy is boring: no tracking, no personalization, no bullshit. Which also means no investor hype, because you can’t sell ads if you don’t track. And that’s the rub — people want “private” services, but they don’t want to pay. So the grift continues.

You want privacy? Stop waiting for a startup savior. Turn things off. Host your own. Use tools that don’t need to spy on you. Yes, it’s inconvenient. That’s the cost of freedom.
