I totally agree with this. The potential upside of doing this doesn't warrant the massive downside.

Before you know it, you'll be getting bombarded with advertisements.

Besides, in the EU, a society where the average person hates it when someone who is not him is doing well, I'd rather people not know how much I earn.

> EU [...] a society

Don't generalize. The EU has 28 member states, with diverse cultures and social norms. What works in Norway may not work in the southern Italy.

Norway is not a member state of the EU. It has close ties with the EU, but it is not part of the EU.
