Inspired by a question I saw a while back, is it possible to make my data/online presence useless/undesirable to companies to purchase?

    I don’t fully agree with the approach, and I also think that generating no data is better in this case, but the reasoning is that the data being generated contains so much noise that it’s useless for profiling. Or even poisonous, since it might create associations that don’t exist (e.g. selling dildos to zealots, or advertising books on quantum mechanics to pet owners). As such, its attractiveness and thus selling value decreases.
