I mostly agree, except that I'm here because I left reddit. I can't speak for anybody else, but you can see my history here and compare it to my history there. It's been almost a year now and I'm not going back.

I'd like to think that enough people will get pissed off enough to make real change happen, but people think they have too much to lose and don't see how much they have to gain. In general, I mean. Windows doesn't really fucking matter lol. Netflix doesn't really fucking matter. The realistic course of action is to just vote with our wallets and hope that discourages overly shitty practices from these companies.
