It is scary how easy and willingly we just give up our privacy and data away.

How else would a recommendation algorithm work? I don’t see why it’s concerning that a company knows that I like to follow musicians, etc.

What’s the alternative? Never finding new things because I refuse to divulge what niches or hobbies I like?

Get off it. Asking an app to serve you content isn't giving up privacy. Get some fucking perspective.
