Actually, I was going to say that you don't have a right to privacy while putting yourself in the view of others. Your neighbors' Ring cameras can only see what is visible from their property, which they have every right to see.

The relevant point is more that reducing the number of data points available to aggregators has a potentially large impact because it reduces the degrees of freedom available for statistical inference.

The direct effect of that is less confidence in the inferences made about you. The indirect knock-on effect is that, because the information about you is less reliable, the other data about you becomes less profitable and less of it will be collected.

Every step of the data collection and analysis process carries a cost. So raising those costs or reducing the benefits will lead to more privacy.
