Not 100% in agreement with some of her videos, but I believe this one is spot on, and probably easier to understand by regular folk.

I’m not scared of governments surveying me, as someone who has worked for several national and local governments, they don’t have the time or budget. I’m not scared of advertisers surveying me, they’re just going to try and sell me something anyway. I’m not scared fo data brokers, they don’t want my data, they want to sell it to some one else for a profit and don’t really care about it.
What I am afraid of is someone I’ve pissed someone off and that any of the groups above don’t care about my data enough to protect it from the asshole who will use it vindictively.
We’re in an era where surveillance is cheap enough that literally everyone gets surveilled, and we’re approaching one where the data will actually get analyzed (by AI) even when there’s no prior expectation that it will be interesting. And while the data sellers might not scare you, what about the buyers? E.g.
