While I like the analogy in many ways, comparing #BigTech with junk food does not show how dangerous they are for people (kids and teens in particular, for the long term effects they have on their brain¹ and for the effects such damage will have on the whole society they live in).

On the pros side, full awareness of the damage caused by personal data collection and manipulation² scare people so much they often prefer to "not look up": many prefer to be unknowing puppets, than to accept they have been tricked and reduced to puppets and fight back.
It's easier to relegate the whole thing to "conspiracy theory".

And one of the reason they do so is they can't see alternatives or are manipulated to dismiss them non viable or uninteresting.

Maybe your analogy might promote one of such alternatives (the #fediverse) better.

PS: I really appreciated your tracker-free website.

These days it's pretty rare and precious to find a cute and well curated website free of trackers.

To me, tracker-free is a sign of professionalism and respect for the people who visit and read a website, making it useful and valuable.

I didn't see anybody thanking you for this aspect so I do: thanks!
