Once again we all suffer because of the stupid majority. Imagine if everyone closed their wallets to the likes of google, meta, apple, rockstar.

Shame actually works quite well despite what everyone’s been trying to tell us.

In my experience, I'm the one who gets shamed for not being in walled gardens of google/apple/meta when everyone else is. Network effect is powerful
