My privacy journey started with a YouTube video by SomeOrdinaryGamers about the Club Penguin Online doxing situation in 2020. Then, through Techlore and other YouTubers, I learned about private browsers, VPNs, password managers, Linux, FOSS, and more. What made you start?

    Hmm, I don’t remember clearly. But I think it started when I first found out about adblockers. That was before uBO existed. From there I learned about trackers and was disgusted how all these websites spy on me. And since it’s gotten worse and worse with tracking I fought back harder and harder.

    For me the question should rather be, what made you never start using privacy intrusive tools. And the answer would be simple common sense. But then again, I’m at an age where I can remember not being able to call someone because someone was using the modem in our house.
