This is a funny take on internet privacy. You do you. I'm sure you've already left multiple footprints all over the place, thus making this post flawed and irrelevant. Your info, whatever it may be, is already out there.
This is a simplistic, yet common take. Privacy is not a zero-sum game. If it was, entities that valued your information wouldn't construct systems to constantly scrape it from you.
As long as you engage with society you will always be generating new information, even it's as basic as confirming that old information is still correct. That means it's never too late to adopt privacy practices.
