I actually disagree that media habits will be collected or targeted. It’s easy to defeat at least the overt tracking at least on Netflix using uMatrix or uBlock Origin; and I’ve done it myself.
Primarily; I just refuse to be intimidated by the extremists. It’s fine to take reasonable steps to protect yourself; but don’t completely force yourself into any kind of isolation because you feel it protects you; that’s exactly what THEY want.
You should be reasonably safe, and fine, using a major streaming service; as the fee to use them can easily be paid by privacy respecting means. (AKA scratch-cards purchased with either cash or crypto currency)
If you are worried about privacy; it’s totally OK to take steps to protect that; but you should be aware that it’s possible to get so wound up in protecting your privacy that you can do more harm for yourself than good. Privacy fatigue is a real issue; and that can be a problem as well. Use your best judgement.
