The thing that gets me is how often this sort of thing is happening all around us without us noticing. Every online purchase is bound to be doing this in some form or another. Every plane ticket, every uber ride. All designed to figure out the exact cost we’re willing to pay for the service.
I’m so tired of capitalism…
Don’t use those companies. Walk to a fucking store. Pay cash. Nothing is keeping us from showing capitalists what we want and what we will spend our money on.
Cancel your Prime, your Walmart sub, your Target rewards account. Find a non-chain store for things.
Show others around you how it’s not that hard to cut unnecessary shit out of your life.
Start today, keep it small.
We love to complain as a species, don’t we? Take that energy and change your habits and let others know. That’s how you end up reading stories like “Companies respond to changing consumer preferences for more durable goods and more privacy.”
I don’t mean to target you, I am just as guilty of these things. Instead, this is a call to myself and others to complain less and change more.
if by do more u mean organize a revolution then yeah do more, but if u mean vote with ur wallet just a friendly reminder that the corps have an unimaginably bigger wallet than anyone else and ur individualistic attempt to change the world thru this means will be completely drowned out in literal billions of dollars of propaganda.
If you feel that way, I guess their propaganda dollars are working against you, at the least.
Stop thinking you’re so outgunned.
if u think u can beat them in their system that they made and control by playing by their rules u are delusional. u can not fight capitalism by consuming.
I’m not trying to beat capitalism. I like regulated, competitive capitalism.
