Privacy advocates are cooler than data collectors

Hard to argue with this, from Ryan Farley on the Buttondown blog:

My motivation, if I’m being really honest, was less about doing the right thing and more about that inescapable human desire to be one of the cool kids.

It’s ok to be uncool. All I ask is that if you do track subscribers, you do so intentionally.

This reminds me how much I want to fully commit to Buttondown and leave Kit.

But oh boy what a headache I get, just thinking about making the move.
