Look, advertisers already know more about you than your own friends and family. We all google random questions that pop into our heads - stuff we might not tell others about. But for advertisers, every click you make reveals another piece of the puzzle about what makes you tick. The stuff you see online - news, ads - it's all dialed in just for you by smart algorithms to keep you engaged.
You've got to question everything. Investigate the stories they're pushing to you. Check the dates - and the source. Think about if it matters. And if you're ever unsure - put down your phone and grab a newspaper. Information is power, ya know? If you don't think critically about what you see, you're just handing over your independence to companies who want one thing: to make you spend and keep you stupid. And if you don't have the cash to blow, they'll try to get you to borrow. Stay woke, my friends.
