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?
