Just like Chrome will stop being anti-consumer when people stop using it. Or Blizzard will stop being terrible if people stop buying their games. People are not very good at this whole “voting with your wallet” thing.
Almost like voting with your wallet doesn’t actually work. Or only works in same way ‘communism’ and ‘well regulated free market capitalism’ concepts work… in theory only.
The sad thing is, if people don’t even manage the tiny delayed gratification of not buying a slightly better graphics card for the equivalent of several weeks of rent, then we can kind of bury any hope for humanity.
You don’t have to do anything, but you’re still encouraging this behavior no matter how you choose to look at it. If that doesn’t bother you, then idk why you’re even replying.

It would work, if people actually pulled through.

No, actually I don’t need to buy the worse product. Privacy considerations are part of the package, just like price and performance are.
I use firefox, because in the performance - privacy - price consideration it beats chrome.
I have a Nvidia graphics card, because being able to run CUDA applications at home beats AMD.

Simply to provide an alternative perspective.
I do choose the inferior product in some categories, so I don’t disagree with the above comment in general.
