I would recommend you peruse through that YT channel, it is very informative in many aspects which most people might be unaware of. There are lots of interesting videos and recommendations on how to use the internet/technology safely.
In my experience, telling people why they should care about something, comes off as patronising and actually ends up putting them off. Allowing people to learn by themselves is a much better approach in the long term but, at the same time, it could be that we never do.
Remember, governments come and go, your data is forever.
edit: to touch one the "why not use cash only and not use X", one of the steps of getting on top of your online privacy, is deciding yourself who you share data with. And that is something only you can do. Yes, you must decide how much privacy you want and how much convenience based on your circumstances, it is ridiculous to expect everyone to stop using X just because they collect data.
