Why do this? Because surveillance capitalism wants you to be less free. It wants you to be glued to the screen. It wants you to buy whatever advertisers want you to buy. But you can fight back by deliberately poisoning your data.

There’s no reason to over complicate this. Set boundaries with yourself. Set a budget, cut up your credit cards, try the envelope system, set limits to how much time you spend on social media.
I agree that doing less can achieve certain goals.
I guess it depends on what your goal is.
If you want to avoid getting glued to the screen and being influenced by advertisements, your recommendations are spot on.
However, if you want to make it costlier for surveillance capitalism to entrance everyone, then other options might make more sense.
