I've answered this question a thousand times, and it simply won't stick.

Do you think I care about privacy? 
Yes, or No?

Do you think I say privacy is a million things, of which most people know 3
for no good reason? I used to have a security clearance at Fort Mead (which
dates me, as the NSA is no longer at Fort Mead, as far as I can recall).

I know privacy.
I can always learn more.

But headers are a component of privacy just as much as is rotating the time
zones (which you likely didn't notice) and the IP address (via rotating
VPN).

I care about privacy.

For privacy, typically on the first of the year, but it can be any time I
feel it's needed, I send a thread to every newsgroup I frequent, letting
them know that the headers are randomized (much like a BSSID should be).

This is to foil robotic aggregators, not you.
Robots. Not people. 
The trolls can't fathom that privacy concept.

The trolls can't fathom that you have to actually rob a bank to be a bank
robber, and not that you just happen to wear a mask for privacy reasons.

The header is the wrapping paper. 
It's the gift of the immense content in the body that has great value.

But aggregators "can" track your posts across the Internet.
I post to many (many!) forums (web forums like XDA, Telegram, etc.)

I don't want my ID to be tracked, so I change the header.
But not the body.

The body is always the same well-educated engineer/scientist.
The same phone (since 2021) and the same unique screenshots.
The same PC (since 2009) and again, the same unique screenshots.
The same Santa Cruz Mountains location.
The same excellent grammar, spelling, and punctuation.
Same newsserver (although they change over time as they come and go).
Hell, the same educational degrees, both undergrad and graduate.

Hell, the same source for the images, and I even re-use images, so anyone
wanting to track me not by the headers, could track, oh, say, these jpegs.

Who does that, but me.
Yet, the trolls, who can never add value, say that by wanting privacy, 
I'm a troll. They say that crap all the time, which says a lot about them.

I'm not hiding from anyone in the body.

Everything is the same in the body.
It's only the header that is randomized.

Hell, few people notice but I try to end each line perfectly, even as most
people might let the 80-character line wrap do it for them (that's because
I wrote my own newsreader which uses gvim macros to equalize line content).

What's sadly hilarious is that, after hundreds of posts of EXACTLY the same
me in every say, the trolls (especially on Apple ngs) excitedly claim 
   I FOUND YOU!!!!!!

It's like you put this big fat egg in the middle of the lawn for the
mentally challenged people, and they shout out with glee that they found
what was never even for a moment hidden from people with a normal IQ.
