So, being FULLY tracked by every website ever, on every device at the same time, since all your data is whatever wallet you use across devices anyway, is now a good thing?
You're not wrong. Privacy mechanisms still need to be designed and implemented. There is much research, particularly in the landscape of zero-knowledge proofs.

Only you (or anyone who has access to your private key) can access your data.
How does data portability actually work? I hear it talked about a lot, but I've never seen anything more than vague hand-waving as to the actual mechanics of it.
> Data portability is a huge value prop: Everywhere you sign-in, you already have all of your data.
No. No you don't.
1. Below you claim that "Only you (or anyone who has access to your private key) can access your data."
So when you sign in somewhere, that "web3" app still has no access to your data
2. Just the fact that you have your data does not mean it's portable.
A proprietary binary blob created by app1 will not be readable or accessible through app2.
What data do I actually want to carry across websites? I actually don't understand the value here.
Is it that I don't have to re-enter my personal information on each site? Signing in with Google already gets me that. Is it something else?
Is it some kind of JSON blob that every service will know how to ingest properly?
Is it bad to pay to click, if you earn more from the ads on the page? Along with micro-payments, you also micro-earn.
