"It was pathetic to watch people sacrifice their principles just because they liked the convenience of X."
You said a mouthful.
This is what the last 14 years look like in my rear-view. To be honest, I did get kicked off FB for being too old, my Ebay junky problem preceded this century and I did love playing euchre w/ my gramma on Excite. Then the dotcom refugees came back and those start-up search guys came & wrote in big letters on the wall(and plainly in the 1st paragraphs of their EULA). Of course, everybody eventually follows the easy money path and the privacy fleecing is thusly justified, "Everybody's doing it!".
