…so, the other way is boycotting? Seriously though, correct me if I’m wrong, but spending your money on the competition sounds like boycotting to me
I reached the same conclusion - it says why the thing doesn’t work, and then suggests you try the thing anyway, with maybe an extra step or two.
As always, theres also the French way which is much more direct.
Boycotts have one advantage over “consistently directing your money to companies in which you are confident”—they can work even if there aren’t any better alternatives. A coordinated campaign to target one company at a time can eventually force a whole industry to change, even if the industry offered no meaningful choices to start with.
