Amazing piece as always William! I appreciate the dumbed down version as I know topics like these can get very complex quickly. This is straight forward and to the point, but there is so much great (and disgusting) information that I can't stop reading it, I love it. This is in my top 3 favorite articles of yours.

I did almost throw up my milk and cookies when I saw the video (and how long you had to scroll) about all of the companies that were getting access to your data via cookies, that is absolutely insane!

I will be a cookie monster, online freedom fighter, and stop feeding the algorithm as much as possible. I appreciate the tip of always opening a new private tab while using a VPN, I will start doing that.

I too enjoy "some" of the connected world, but like you said "maybe I will have to start leaving most of it behind."

Cheers!
