  • counterpoint: it’s the far more prevalent mentality of “blaming foolish consumers” that ruins it for the rest of us.

    Expecting consumers to ever do differently at scale is a dead-end fantasy we all need to stop having.

    Only market regulation stops manipulative market practices.

    Doing anything less then “advocating for laws to stop this shit” izza giant waste of brain cells, yet i see threads of people making that useless case every time something like this happens.

    Change will not come from consumers voting with their wallets, FULL STOP

    If someone readin thinking it will, NEVER think this again.

    Hey! I see you, looking for an example of consumer action making a difference: Go find me 100 more. You’ll need about 100 to start make up for alla times deregulation have hurt and currently hurting consumers now.

    Hear me: anyone advocating for consumer action or blaming consumers is doing them companies dry-fucking us a huge favor. These bad actors can and will continue as long as it is legal to do so.
