They might have known the consequences, but money is money. I feel like for 99% of people there is a certain sum of money for which they will give into pretty much any kind of data collection. Even I'd give into it if they gave me enough. The bar is just higher, but there does exist a certain $X for which I would give in as well.

Most times I’ve been biometrically catalogued, I wasn’t paid for the privilege. The government just kind of said I had to, and I wasn’t in a position to argue.

I guess I am in some sense compensated by the data brokers who psychometrically profile my internet use and resell their conclusions—but “free ad-supported internet content” isn’t exactly fungible cash…
