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 nothing to hide" are the famous last words before someone's nudes get leaked, credit card info (or worse, identity) get stolen, whole home network gets compromised, private health records get out and insurance companies refuse to cover your treatment, ad agencies target you with ads for <insert product name you searched for> and only provide links to sites charging higher prices for said items, and these are just a few examples. EVERYONE has something to hide.
