I never made a Facebook account either, but I understood its analytics. I was in sales prior to the recession and saw how data was starting to be used to pinpoint customers and how much data was already available by 2008. I think it was around 2012 that Target brought it to the front with sending some girl (living at home) coupons for new baby stuff, and nobody knew she was pregnant, based on the items she started buying.Like I said it's an eyeballs/ money equation and they tend to go for the bigger fish, I don't use social media (this excepted) and don't care for it's effects on people and society as it is currently structured. I'm also pretty ignorant about it and lack first hand experience.
If you get a chance watch the Cambridge Analytica video:
There is no reason to worry about limiting themselves anymore, they want to spam every single person with their propaganda that the data shows they are most susceptible to.
