I think there's some confusion around this because of abuse of terms.

When people talk about data harvesting on other platforms its *insanely invasive*. Things like tracking every click you make in the app, your search history, tracking every piece of content you view and for how long.

Most nostr clients today have none of this. All people can collect are public actions that you have already consented to. nostr data is transparent so you know what you're putting out there.

Not to mention with giftwraps, relay group chats, encrypted group chats... we are beginning to hide a lot of this stuff.

Thanks @jb55 I was not aware of this and assumed that data harvest would be insane on Nostr naturally. Maybe some more discussion on this would be nice

yeah it's kind of subtle until you dig into the details. the data I saw being collected when working at startups was horrifying. complete playback of the cursor during browser sessions, etc.
