Do you not consume a single Google/Meta/Microsoft product or do you not care about their abhorrent business practices?

Yes and no.

I don’t understand.

Then you’re knowingly engaging in the consumption of abusive products? Do you not see how you have literally no leverage whatsoever as a consumer?

Its not that simple. Its not a binary do you/don’t you question. Overwhelmingly I do not.

  • I don’t buy any Apple products whatsoever
  • I don’t have or use Facebook or Instagram
  • I don’t use Reddit outside of the Stealth app (I can’t anyway, they’ve blocked my IP)
  • I use YouTube only with third-party clients and without watching ads

Pretty much the only thing I use is a Google account for work, which I have no choice over.

I use less than probably 99% of Americans.
