Ask HN: Is it reasonable to cover your webCam?

I am not a programer, but my impression from various journalists and so forth is that webCams are relatively vulnerable to hijacking. My impression is that once an adversary has access to a webcam, they probably has access to basically everything else. Is this true?

The reason I ask is because I 3D printed a pretty good cover which I am attempting to sell , but I can't convince anyone that its worth using. Maybe they're right. Let me know.
