I think the average person just simply doesn't care about their privacy. (lemmy.world)

In some of the music communities I'm in the content creators are already telling their userbase to go follow them on threads. They're all talking about some kind of beef between Elon and Mark and the possibility of a boxing match... Mark was right to call the people he's leaching off of fucking idiots.

People who want to deliver you ads so that you may buy their product, thus helping their business, care

Yeah, but that's my point. How is that gonna negatively effect me in any way?

They can try to influence your political opinions (manipulate you) by showing you certain type of content based on your current beliefs. They will show you content that is more likely to make you addicted to the platform. For some people that's gonna be dangerous conspiracy theories or scams like alternative medicine.

Maybe you are immune to all of that, but many people clearly aren't.

Kind of providing insight as to why most people don't have any privacy concerns. I doubt most people consider that or think they're so easily swayed. Heck, most people are practically apolitical.

Many people think they are not easily swayed, but in reality most people don't have any training in critical thinking and often don't know how to verify if something is fake. Things like confirmation bias make it pretty hard.
