Put another way: RMS is a hardliner/purist about privacy and intellectual freedom. As far as I’ve read, he considers it unacceptable to compromise his privacy/freedom in basically all contexts. His conclusions are reached soundly, assuming you started from his first-principles. But if you, like so many of us, are willing to trade some privacy/freedom for some convenience, then his conclusions won’t make any sense. It’d be awesome if we had higher expectations of privacy/freedom from our technology. But I just don’t think boycotting Netflix is an effective strategy for getting there.
