A while ago I reached a point in my privacy journey where I simply felt bored. It’s not a result of going too far in privacy, but simply my threat model has caused me to let go of a lot of things that used to entertain me (games, movie streaming, short form video, etc.) The entertainment landscape in privacy seems pretty bleak, since you no longer own the movies you watch, the games you play, and lots of proprietary software along the way. I entertain myself through FreeTube, physical copies of movies, and offline installations of games like Minecraft, but it’s still a step down from how it used to be.
What do you do to keep yourselves entertained in a privacy conscious way?

Have you tried touching grass? 😃
But seriously, most outdoor activities are like the most private things you’ll do all day.
Never mind the security cameras, and the drones, and the smartphones, and the satellites…
Those things are less-likely to be in outdoor areas than anywhere else.
Where I live, there are security cameras all over the buildings and the lamposts and the traffic intersections and the parking lots, plus Ring/Nest doorbells everywhere. There are more cameras outside the buildings than inside. Everybody is carrying a smartphone and I see people taking pictures or video with them all the time.
Drones and satellites are really only outside.
So I don’t agree with your conclusion.
Where I live there are no cameras, so I agree with their conclusion.
