Some privacy solutions are designed very advanced, but only applicable to special scenarios and a very small number of users. These kinds of things are unlikely to evolve into true infrastructure.

What can be called "fundamental privacy" must be accessible to the majority of people. During daily interactions, users shouldn't have to struggle or learn additional complex procedures. Once auditing, regulatory compliance, or verification is needed, the system shouldn't suddenly crash or freeze.

This is the pragmatic approach to privacy design—making privacy protection as natural and seamless as using ordinary features.

That's right, those profound and mysterious privacy solutions are just a waste; no one is really using them. --- The core issue is usability; difficult things will never make it to the mainstream. --- I agree, privacy shouldn't be a luxury; it must be accessible to ordinary people without them feeling it. --- This guy said what I think in my heart—stop with those flashy tricks. --- The key is stability + usability; both are indispensable. Most current solutions have got it backwards. --- It sounds easy, but actually implementing it is really difficult. How many projects can truly achieve this? --- A pragmatic approach is always easier to sustain than radical show-off techniques. This principle applies everywhere.

That's right. Currently, many privacy projects are just a pile of black technology, and only geeks can handle them; ordinary users simply can't use them. True privacy infrastructure should be ready to use out of the box, so users don't have to spend ages DYOR (Do Your Own Research). Privacy and usability should coexist naturally; it's not a matter of having to choose one over the other.

That's right. The privacy tools on the market that are so complicated you need to spend half a day learning them are really just self-indulgence. Infrastructure must be user-friendly for beginners; otherwise, no matter how advanced the technology is, it’s useless if people can't use it.

That's right. Right now, many projects are just self-indulgent with privacy solutions that nobody uses, haha. Only privacy that can be popularized is true privacy; otherwise, it's just a high-end toy. Indeed, most people can't remember those complex operations at all, no matter how ingenious the design is, it's useless. The key is stability. Privacy solutions that collapse under regulation are better off not existing. Making privacy seamless in use—that's the real skill.

Exactly, those profound and mysterious privacy technologies are completely unusable for ordinary people and will be eliminated sooner or later. That's right, privacy should be as natural as breathing, not something that feels like rocket science. Most projects want to show off their technology, but very few are actually designed for the general public. This logic is clear—privacy infrastructure should be seamless; the simpler, the more sustainable. Speechless, a bunch of so-called privacy solutions are so complicated that people want to give up, and that's the real problem. Agreed, if it can withstand audits and still be user-friendly, that's true skill. There are still too few projects that truly start from user experience to develop privacy. It should be like this—privacy shouldn't be exclusive to high-end users; it should become standard.
