I have never seen one of these Silicon Valley “boycotts” have any effect whatsoever.

  I'm pretty sure if Microsoft still had 95% PC OS market share they would be a much bigger (crappier) company today than they are. If a group of people get annoyed with a product they will flock to the next available one and drive that business to become competition. So while you don't get that instant gratification of being pissed and getting results you do force companies to make changes. People suffered through IE for years, and when Chrome came around it practically took IE's market share overnight because people were so willing to blindly abandon IE.

    But that’s one product beating another. It happens all the time. I’m talking about a departure from a product for ethical / philosophical reasons.
