@ChrisMayLA6 This is very interesting! Since I don't have any children myself... how much of a thing is the parenting industry? What products and services are commonly peddled based on induced fear and anxiety?

well in the UK... massive! from baby products through to advice on teenagers & everything in between.... all of it driving parental anxiety to encourage purchase of goods & services
@ChrisMayLA6 Interesting! In that case I assume it is the same in sweden. Fascinating how I'm so absolutely isolated and insulated from all of that. ;)
On the other hand, my laser focus on privacy does shield me and my family from a lots of commercial messages.
I remember the first time my father had to use the internet with all the privacy tools and ad blockers I have installed for him. After about 60 seconds he asked me how people can tolerate it. ;)
