We (smart people) knew this was the end result of ai and why the far right and ccorporations love it. But holy fucking shit this is dangerous and people should be terrified of this. Stop using these platforms (I know it doesn’t matter the platform, we’re all fucked, but still)
My concern is that Reddit can sell their profiling algorithm to other companies, who then can federate with Lemmy, mastodon, etc. to build profiles against users.
It’s getting to the point where I may need to go back to cycling usernames every few years.

You should definitely do that anyways, you never know when some crazy is going to try and dox you. Changing usernames won’t really protect you from advertisers though, software will link the two identities together.
On Reddit, I was doing that, but every few months. At most, a year, before the username got canned.

I think it goes beyond that, stop living an online life is a better advice. Use the internet to get info, not to submit info.
