Comment on “Awful”: Roku tests autoplaying ads loading before the home screen
Quadhammer@lemmy.world 5 days agoDude it is a protest against big tech. If companies were genuine and altrustic and stopped dunking their balls where it doesnt belong we wouldnt have so many problems in this world. So fuck em and fuck you

You don’t get it… Your logic is flawed. By pirating, you support the current business practices. You encourage them to do more of it. Piracy is the worst kind of protest.
Let me explain: When everyone who disagrees with how big tech make profits leaves to do piracy, then the only people who are left paying are the people that suppport big-tech or don’t care. Consequently the exact thing you’re ‘protesting’ against becomes the most profitable and only way to make money. Guess where that leads the industry…
The only way of protest is with your money. Spend it on good alternatives so they become the next profitable thing.
