For me it’s the paranoia surrounding webcams. People outright refuse to own one and I understand, until they go on and on about how they’re being spied. Here’s the secret - unplug the damn thing when you think you won’t use it or haven’t used it in a while.
They, whoever it is, can’t really spy on you on something that’s already off and unplugged!
I’m pretty positive by this point that people love to bitch about ads for the sake of bitching about ads. They bring this onto themselves.
Same goes for them going onto sites without ad blockers. Then when you tell them, it’s either “OHHH THANKS!” or “Uhhhh, I cAn’t” for no reason.
Or people, like my mom, who
arewere relatively educated about technology and don’t want to learn new technologies/tools under the pretense of security (even if the software is foss, like again most adblockers.Edit: Whenever I use a browser without an adblocker, I remember how shitty the web is without them.
