If someone has enough access to your system to covertly use the camera, then the camera is the last thing you need to worry about.

Nobody is interested in looking at you. Getting your payment data, or private data, that is much more interesting.

There are scammers who want your masturbation recorded. The Chinese Communist Party has a face database for surveillance.

And if they have access to your computer, they can get much more useful information, both for extortion and surveillance.

Nah, no reason to downplay webcams.

The average user'd probably get ransomware attack. And if not, cam girl scams. I'd have a look on r/scam rather than argue theoretical worst cases.

Why would you give them that extra inch though? Cover your cameras.

I have no idea why this is causing some weird controversy. Strange arguments out there.

You do you as we live in a free world. The only thing I would be concerned about it if it was illegal to cover your camera

You don't know where I live.

You not concerned about the possibility of someone spying on you? Regardless, treating cameras as eyes is damn good practice.
