What is enshittification?
The phenomenon of online platforms gradually degrading the quality of their services, often by promoting advertisements and sponsored content, in order to increase profits. (Cory Doctorow, 2022, extracted from Wikitionary) source
The lifecycle of Big Internet
We discuss how predatory big tech platforms live and die by luring people in and then decaying for profit.
Embrace, extend and extinguish
We also discuss how naturally open technologies like the Fediverse can be susceptible to corporate takeovers, rugpulls and subsequent enshittification.

So what?
Well you drink coffee in the morning so it's probable that you go to the bathroom soon after.
Oh your did laundry on Saturday the weekend? I bet your don't do laundry during the week because work. Maybe you won't be home around then...
Opened the fridge door at 6:00 pm and it was open for 2 minutes? I bet the person is hungry. Quick flash their marketing ID with ads for fast food!
Stuff like that is what they use the info for.
If you wear a smart watch that monitors your heartrate. You bet your ass they know when you have sex and when you need more condoms.
Lmaooo. Those goofballs. As though I would ever use condoms…
Ahh a fellow gambling man
Everything you said is true except the last part.
It's bad for the capitalistic companies to have less consumers. No condoms = more people = more consumers = more data = more $$$
