We need to realise that WE ARE A MINORITY. Most people do not give a single shit about ads and go about their lives
Yes, tech enthusiasts are a minority and most people are tech illiterate.
As someone who works in the tech industry. I can tell you people here are not tech illiterate, but most just dgaf about privacy when they can trade it in for convenience. That's why most of them are okay with designing apps that have zero respect to user privacy and they see nothing wrong with it.
