ELI5; Why is selling data such a big deal?

605 viewsOtherTechnology

Obviously sensitive information like addresses, credit cards, etc. should be protected, but I don’t understand why it’s considered a big deal when companies sell other data? Don’t they just sell things like how much time you spent staring at a picture before you scrolled?

Everyone I know uses ad blockers and ignores ads. No one seems to want to see them. I don’t get why so much money is spent for date either but clearly there must be profit in it or business’s wouldn’t be paying so much for it.
