       @neilI personally don't see it as an alternative but rather as an occasional, forced measure when the service provider rips you of your implicit or even explicit rights, such as removing a movie or ebook you paid for in a purchase (not subscription) model.Same thing with ad blockers, reverse engineering or customer boycott of unethical companies.

       @neil I wish it was possible to opt to only do business with non publicly traded companies... I think the enshittification process of all of these business is just driven by investors desire for year on year growth. When a company isn't traded, it doesn't seem to strive for fast growth, and is happy with just turning a profit... Then they're a lot less driven to alter things that will upset their whole customer base but make shareholders happy.

       @solarisfire @neil Same there in fact I think the best corporation model at least as a customer tends to be cooperatives where you can become fellow members.Publicly traded is the polar opposite of this where some random dude made out of money can just screw it all for everyone.
