Yup. The vast majority of internet users NEVER:

  • Customizes their web experience

  • Uses apps almost exclusively

  • Navigates beyond the first page/screen

How will they react to this?

"Shut the hell up, fucking nerd and your fucking idiotic, stupid ass 'privacy' bullshit. God WHO THE FUCK CARES!? I was literally - LITERALLY - never inconvenienced by any of that stuff, so SHUT UP!"

That's how.

We're doomed. We were always doomed.

Would be kinda cool to go back to irc or usenet, because the average internet user does not and will not give a shit about privacy, and definitely won't get a complicated chat thing setup.

We’re doomed. We were always doomed.

I'm afraid that's always been the case because the mass majority just don't a give a shit. They'll happily conform to whatever the monopolies tell them to.
