@dangoodin @hueso Oh thats exactly what I do. Its important to present alternatives to all of these corporate bullshit services. At the same time you have to understand that privacy for most people is about minimizing the amout of data you leak with as little invasiveness as possible.

Doing stuff like using fedi instead of twitter, signal instead of messenger, or not connecting your smart tv to internet isnt very invasive for most of us. Using Linux instead of Windows, or degoogling your phone might be more invasive and less people will probably be willing to accept it. And giving up credit card transactions entirely is very invasive, especially if you shop a lot of stuff online.

Saying stuff like "you can't tell people to leak less data by doing X as long as you don't tell them to leak no data by doing Y, Z and etc." is just stupid whataboutism. Especially when there is abundance of content relating to other companies mentioned by you collecting your data and alternatives for them. So people can make a consensual choice on whether they are willing to accept the invasiveness posed by removing these products from their life, or keeping them on their devices, possibly leaking more data.

The situation for smart tvs is a bit different. Lots of people, especially some older folks, perceive them as being the same as being simple "hdmi to light adapters", not really as another computer leaking your data. So information on this field is much more valuable than repeating to people yet another time that Google is collecting their data and that they need to stop using all of these data leaky services.
