It’s always difficult with digital matters, since there isn’t anything tangible and concrete to show.
Like, there’s no shady person following them with a notebook and reporting back to their boss all day, but that is kinda what’s happening, just invisible to the user.
My pihole is pretty good at showing family how many connections their apps make are completely unnecessary to their actual functions. That’s a good illustration to start with.

Me everytime i use a broswer without ublock. Ill open a link here in lemmy without opening it externally to firefox and dear god my eyes.
Ublock makes the internet a better place. Or at least it shoves the bad stuff under the bed lol.
I always forget about my adblocker until I need to use a browser without one. It’s really pretty miserable.
I helped someone I know out with a thing on their computer and got blasted by ads because they didn’t use an ad blocker.
Those two minutes on the Internet really had me questioning how anyone manages to use it raw without going insane.
Maybe if we tell them uBlock Origin is a condom for their browser, they’ll understand?
What a sentence to type out
I see it that way. You don’t dive into some strange without protection, don’t let your computer do it with websites.
