What point would you like me to hit? Surveillance even if it's passive and I have nothing to hide is probably the biggest reason for most of my habits. Money and trust. The other reason is probably mental health, reducing stimulus helps me dramatically with anxiety. I typically walk around with headphones in silence. I can still hear everything, it's just quieter. If you do it long enough you'll know what I mean.
