I often find myself defaulting to the “All or nothing Mindset”, I find it reasurring to hear/read something different occassionally. Especially as striving for the “All” can leave me exhausted about it all!

I agree with you and the premise, in general.
Unfortunately even the little bits of data that are gathered can form a bigger picture over even a few years. See the recent acquisition of Ancestry.com by Blackstone (a finance company, IIRC) - now pretty much all of us have some of our genealogy held by them. Why would a finance company want that data(rhetorical question).

I like this article. Perfect is the enemy of good and all that, and trying to keep some privacy is worth it, especially now.
Thanks for the kind words!
As someone who is the first to go “yeah, but so-n-so does this-n-that,” I needed this reminder of the thin line between “being informative” and “being a killjoy.”
Caveats are nice, but I still shouldn’t discourage folx from making better choices.
