Is it worth adding my fingerprint to the google collective in order to save about 5 seconds with opening my phone?

No. Go fuck yourself for even considering.

If you're that mad why didn't you tell me to do it out of spite?
Yes, you already sold your soul to jewgle. One more fingerprint won't add much.
Give them your DNA while you're at it. Nothing to hide, nothing to fear.

Fingerprints hashes, and not images of your actual fingerprints are stored locally on your phone only.

You leave copies of your fingerprint literally everywhere you go.
Result: Fingerprints are usernames, not passwords.
Remember: Fifth Amendment seems to apply to passwords/PINs/passphrases, but does not apply to fingerprints.
However, if your phone really is entirely benign, go for it. It is very convenient. If you can't name a threat model you might as well go for it.

The poster >>55660700 means that only the hashes get stored on your phone; the images don't even get stored there, and neither get sent to Google.
