Its a great tool but sadly most of us don't use it the way its meant to be. Most services don't allow us to use it the way its meant to be.
Wish more 'influencers' talk about this.
Such influencers would be hated by government and centralized institutions. Instead of trying to be safe, if someone did that, they open a can of worms, even they use pseudonym or didn't reveal their identity.
If the influencers gone viral, I'm sure they will be targeted by the centralized institutions.
Another thing, influencers make money not only by ads and views, they make money from endorsement, 99.9% of endorsement came from centralized institutions.
Government doesn't care. CIs don't care. I bet you not one single government or CI went to arrest or shutdown the old teachers of Bitcoin like Andreas Ant. He is so famous he still does lectures and talks and always educates people about proper use for privacy.
Like you said if you so fear it, use pseudonym.
Anyway back on point, people talk about anonymity (wrong absolutely) and privacy (usually wrong) as they don't use BTC properly. Influencers number one criminal in this.
