That is my point. Eventually if we keep letting everything become a giant conglomerate the choice will be a complete drop out and go live in the woods and wait for the machine to destroy itself or completely give up and just accept this is our only choice.

In the meantime, I know there are already things where this is the only choice. There is no reason to keep subscribing to Disney Plus, but when it comes to the things you can't completely stop, just reduce where you can. It makes a difference.

I used to rely on Amazon for everything just bc it was convenient. There are some things I still do rely on it for, but I have cut waaay back on purchases from there. If I can get it somewhere else, I will.
