The problem here is that people cannot seem to understand that "private" and "privacy" are related but not the same thing. Private is what happens in my house that nobody outside should be privy to. Privacy is the illusion that everything we do is private. I liken this to being photographed and filmed in public and the Karen's crying "don't video me". No Karen, I can and WILL video you in public and there is nothing you can do to stop me.

One has no expectation of privacy in public. None. Social Media IS public. Everything on the internet is public. Some things offer more privacy than others, but if its on the internet, it can and likely WILL BE exposed.

Act accordingly.

the original NES was released in 1985 at the price of $179.99, which inflation adjusted to today would be over $530. The SNES in the USA was released for $199.99 in August 1991, which inflation adjusted to today's price would be $470....

Yet, consider this -- consoles used to get price cuts quickly. The SNES launched for $199, but the next year it was selling for $149, and then $99. Meaning, most people paid much less than launch price. On the other hand, the Switch never got a price cut, so in practice it was more expensive; expect the same for the Switch 2.
