Well looks like the house is on fire. No sense trying to put it out now. Besides fire prevention doesn't stop fires so telling people fires are preventable is just putting them at risk.
The war for privacy is lost. If you want to be private online, you don't just log onto your computer, connect to a VPN, and install a new web browser... You need to buy an entire new computer, go to a public wifi spot with a full facemask and... oh you gave away your location.
Online privacy is a farce that pretending exists only puts people at risk.
Companies have billion dollar reasons for finding out who you are, and its not just for ads. Some want to prevent bad actors. Some want to prevent scraping. There are entire companies whos job it is to identify you. Are you, 1 person, able to beat a multi-million dollar company who's job it is to identify you? Oh and once you are identified once, you are added to some list which makes it easy to ID you in the future.
