You can always shut up when people complain about known shitty practices by overstuffed companies.
You can always just not buy it.
Hey, I heard a tumor around here, that it is in fact possible not buying it. Is that true?
Many say it is impossible to not buy it, but I say that one can actually not buy it.
why so much bootlicking mate?
As a matter of fact people are indeed buying too much shit, no matter how overpriced things are. Leading to more overpriced things because people are buying anyway (and then maybe complain about it).
I fully agree, these pricing tactics are scummy af, but the dude is right: stop buying everything and/or buy used.
amen... if he came in with a more balanced approach here, i think it would have landed a bit better. but now, he decided to dig in on that hill, so he really did mean to bootlick.
voting with your wallet is the the only effective direct action left under the current clown regime.
Bootlicking? I'm basically saying don't buy stupid shit from shit companies who are price gauging.
at some point you will have to enter the market... dunking on people is missing the point that once you device is broken, you MUST participate in this market.
granted, there is second hand market which is good but it is not solution to the monumental price gouging behavior we see today.
TLDR: you are correct on individual level for yourself currently, you are missing systemic nature of the issue we all face.
