I know this is a joke but here comes my two cents:
- Create a hidden folder called .free_energy_designs
- Put some random images of pyramids in there
- Use VeraCrypt to encrypt with secret second encryption layer where you store your porn

I agree, though I also believe that Reddit is like that already.
They don’t need to sell that information to be untrustworthy, they just need to lose it.
This is how people steal your identity or buy stuff with your credit card even though you only gave that information to big corporations. It has happened a lot and is still happening.
As someone who has worked on large databases I can confidently say that every single piece of information the company had on all of it’s customers was available at my fingertips in clear text except for the passwords which I could have cracked in the thousands per second if they had less than 9 characters, which a lot of passwords did because the requirement was at least 8.
The only way the company can prevent me from doing malicious things with your data is if they only hire people with a moral compass and paying them enough. And the first one isn’t exactly easy.
There is not a lot you can do as a consumer to not get taken advantage of except minimizing the amount of data a company has on you because they don’t care enough and you will care once the police comes knocking on your door because of a crime someone did with your identity.
Just because my monkey brain falls for clickbait doesn’t mean that I want it.
The MKBHD thumbnail is a perfect example of this. I really want to know what makes that phone almost perfect because I can’t fight my curiosity but when faced with an honest title like the one on the right which states that it’s just a review makes me realize that I’m actually not interested in it.
And after clicking on a clickbait video and scrolling through it to check if it actually delivers on it’s promises I’m mostly left disappointed and will close it again.
And I can’t just ignore all titles that pose a question like this because there are youtubers like technology connections that actually deliver on their titles promise in a thourough way.
