I’ve gotten to the point that every time I get some kind of offer like “sign up for our app and save 5¢ per gallon on gas” I immediately reject it out of hand without even looking into it.

My logic is that whatever data they are harvesting from it is obviously worth more than 5¢ a gallon to them so while I don’t know what that data is, it seems like it must be a net loss to me somehow.

Maybe this is net zero thinking when perhaps there are indeed win-win arrangements out there but I’ve just gotten quite cynical and cautious with how pervasive and ubiquitous surveillance is in our lives.
