Grow a fucking pair and make a sacrifice for the world you want to see. Ppl are so fucking weak. Adjust your life to remove the liability of corporate greed, whenever possible.
I did that when the Oblivion horse armor dropped and I felt strength and community in my little rural highschool of like-minded gamers that aligned on the "world we want to see".
fast forward 20 years. our sacrifice doesn't matter, companies run like big ocean trawlers and some retards will swim into the net and make it worth their while 😞
Thinking you have to change the whole world for a sacrifice to be worthwhile is one way to see it.
I see your point but it's pointless when most people are sheeple. The 1% of power users never make a difference in the world of today.
Those power users are the ones who build the alternative. That path already exists, you simply refuse to walk it. The more who do, the better it gets.
But big business is very, very skilled at exploiting the parts of us that change behavior. Who am I, with a few words, to convince you to change, regardless of how much better would be if you did, when I'm up against the relentless propaganda expertise that convinces you, everyday, to keep accepting the path that is worse in the long run?
And then what? Nobody uses it besides other power users. You get no money, no support, besidrs that of your little group of people with a brain.
Do I? Weird, I guess informing literally everyone I know is meaningless then.
Why are you talking about me and what I do and refuse to do like you know me?
I agree with you, but the way you put it, really puts me off.
It is easier than you think bur your mindset is a big roadblock
