Schön, dass es mal jemand als Sucht benennt. Wenn ich das 1000x einer Sache horte als ich je ausgeben könnte und einen Nervenzusammenbruch kriege wenn jmd vorschlägt, dass ich was davon abgebe, dann wär ich ein Messie. Außer diese Sache ist Geld.

You know the mere exposure effect? It basically says that being familiar with something even if they don't like it, that familiarity breeds sympathy. Or plainly, any publicity is good publicity. It's a commonly used trick in marketing. I try to remind myself that though what you're describing is annoying, I still had some role in inspiring them.

"You do not need to be ultra-private" is right. People sometimes say "oh but they have my data already" because they don't understand that there's always more data to collect and small acts matter already. Data privacy is like washing hands.
