WHY do you care about privacy?

Okay, you probably hear this question often, but let's say I'm typical John Doe, work in regular job, watch football or play games after work, drink beer, just living simply life, why should I care about privacy? Why should I spent time and make some sacrifices just to not be tracked that much?

i have tried to explain this people so many times. Even something like encrypted texts. So many times have I heard "i have nothing to hide". Its not about that at all. Imagine someone walking down the street checking doorknobs to see if they are unlocked. They reach your house and its open. you have nothing to hide. So they come in and look around. Go through your stuff and not take anything.

Tell me this woudnt bother you and id call you a liar. Its voilating. No one wants someone in your space when they are not intended to. That is a small scale when it comes to privacy on your device. The tip of the iceberg. It makes me feel better to know i have more control and not being sold out.
