    Yes.

    Like any interest, people get so far removed from the original point, it becomes about something new.

    Like cast iron. People go from not really knowing about it to learning how to cook with it, to learning how to do basic maintenance. About 20% of people go completely off the rails, and they start buffing and polishing them like they are fabergé eggs, and joining cast iron groups.

    Privacy is the same. Learn the basics, follow the basics, relax and get over yourself.
