It's a stated vs revealed preference situation, not a doomer take. A small subset of people will care about privacy and avoid ads, etc. But the take was actually about ads, specifically. Streaming was supposed to end ads, but as we see from Netflix's ad model, people are actually ok with ads.

Bit of a doomer take... privacy tech continues to grow in adoption imo

Netflix's ad-supported tier hardly registers a blip in my privacy adoption radar
