We're close to a major turning, and corporations have mostly signaled their loyalty.
The sad thing is - this is true. We know who the enemy is. Yet we still give them money!
I get that some things are essential, I'd probably lose my job if I didn't have Office 365 or whatever the fuck Microsoft calls it today, but even the easiest targets don't really get actioned on.
The worst part is when we all see an enemy reveal itself fully, attack it for a week, then forget or accept a BS apology. I'm not going to say I'm not guilty of that, I came back to Epic after they stopped virtue signaling for BLM and started purchasing skins again when they skipped women's day.
This is a genuine question for everyone reading :
How many of you are still avoiding Proctor and Gamble products? If not, do you at least remember why I'm mentioning it?
How many of you are avoiding United Airlines?
How many of you are still on Twitter, Zuckbook etc?
Our problem isn't that our enemy is hard to defeat, it's that the cycle of outrage is short enough that we dent one quarter's earnings then disappear. You have to keep going, until they declare bankruptcy.
I actively avoid P&G, and I especially avoid them while BBQing outside while boys will be boys.
I think everyone is avoiding all airlines nowadays, so that one's a given.
I never got into Zuckbook in the first place, I have the superpower to see fucking T-rexes with wool sweatervests and not go "huh, looks like a sheep to me!".
Answers:
I avoid Gilette but otherwise only use their laundry detergent, which I will now be finding a replacement for. All of their other brands I never used anyway. I don't remember but I remember the Gilette ad vaguely.
I never travel anyway.
Never was on those platforms.
I'm also selling off all my Sony shit (which is a lot) and basically blacklisting them from my house. Same with Square Enix but their garbage isn't hard to avoid.. or pirate.
I also stopped buying Lee Child books since he said shit about Brexit. Yo-ho-ho.
but even the easiest targets don't really get actioned on.
This is sadly very true. How many people here still use Wokefox even though other browsers are freely available. They'd be one of the easiest companies to boycott.
How's that true? I followed the first few days, Epic looked like they were going to win.
Did something come out about the Epic Store, which was obvious? I don't care about the whole exclusives thing, I'm sick of Steam fanboys, one platform makes everything easier to take over.
If that looks like "going to win" to you, then I feel your loyalty to them has completely addled your perception.
The leaks have been incredibly damning both to his court case, and every single thing Epic pretended to try and stand for. Without getting into the suspicion that Timmy might have deliberately leaked the documents themselves to try and use public opinion sway to make Apple fold. Which isn't farfetched because the documents themselves show that was his initial plan.
Also almost nobody is a Steam fanboy. Most people are a "don't drag me into your slap fight" fanboy. We have like 7 platforms on PC and only Epic gets constantly attacked for it. Heck the leaks are so monumental the trial is getting lagged down because companies are literally flooding the judge with confidentiality requests because he is dragging fucking everyone into his little slap fight.
This is not even getting into the numerous and constant gaffes Epic has made in the courtroom itself, which make them look retarded, melodramatic, and using nothing but strongarm and emotional manipulation. You know, like a bunch of women.

boo to you, sir.
To your questions:
Not sure, and not.
Yes.
No, and No, and ect. No, other than kia2 and pure injections of absurdity.
Our problem isn't just an economic one. It's also a messaging issue.

Technically...
Chrome(Goolag)Edge(Microsoft)Opera(Linked to the CCP)It's harder than you think. I use Edge, at least I get rewards points.
Brave or Pale Moon are both viable options.
All three of those are Chrome based.
I see you aren't watching the court case play out right now. They are scummier than Apple, and that's hard to manage.
