Well that was not my point... my point is that if a significant number of the people that allegedly hate AI/Google/BigCorpo were to actively get rid of their products, there would be an impact.
You are right that 200 is nothing but the real problem, IMO, is that people LOVE the show but not the action. I read hundreds of posts everywhere about how we must fight yet nobody seems to want to get off their chairs
THEY LITERALLY TOOK ACTION. THAT'S WHY THERE'S A STORY.
These people literally got off their chairs during their college graduation from a prestigious university to protest the shit Google is doing!
Each person who did that made a bigger impact, and probably a bigger sacrifice, than a person who degoogled. That was my point.
Ultimately we need people to degoogle, but until way more people pay attention to why they should, it will remain a niche thing.
Fair point... maybe I am just too frustrated to see the small gains
not working for google hurts them more than someone degoogling.
