I’m a similar age and it was the same for me when I first deactivated my Facebook account, and still is with Messenger. After a few months of vainly trying to get people to switch to something else (like Signal), I just gave up and started using Messenger again. For me, the self-imposed social isolation was not worth the privacy gains.
Privacy isn’t necessarily about risk for everyone. For some it’s more about their individual right to privacy, and to uphold that right they need to be aware of ways in which it may be breached. So this is probably not practical information for most people (I certainly don’t care) but it’s useful to share nonetheless.
ignoring the fact that pewdiepie is a racist
This is a satirical article mocking the backlash to the things he actually did.
This isn’t about my misremembering a really good satire bit as fact because it was so close to true.
At press time, PewDiePie was once again under fire for an incident in a new PUBG stream where, after getting run over by a vehicle, he accidentally left his house, booked a flight to Kentucky, stayed in a hotel for three days, and joined a Civil War reenactment fighting as a Confederate soldier.

Yes, I do have a problem with braindead retards who mindlessly recycle fake news that fits their narrative instead of taking a minute out of their life to actually read the shit they are sharing. You guys shit up the online discourse for everyone else, it’s this exact kind of moronic behaviour that makes social media such a chore these days. If you can’t be bothered to put the minimum amount of effort in, please just stay off the internet.
The most concerning thing is you seem to think it’s some kind of minor error that you can instantly move on from, but in reality the only way you make this kind of insanely stupid mistake is if you have something fundamentally wrong with your approach to sourcing information. Instead of trying to baselessly claim I’m a white supremacist for calling you out, maybe switch off the screen and do some thinking about why the fuck you throught an obviously satirical article was a genuine event that occurred in real life.
And yet, if you look them up you’ll find many of them have tens of millions of downloads. It’s crazy the types of random shit people thoughtlessly download from the Play Store. The North Korean spy agency also had spyware apps on there until recently, targeting South Korean users.
