Agreed. "Vote with your wallet" does not exclude the idea of being an investor or sponsor of better alternatives.

- jerf 6y agoI would also add that nobody saying "vote with your wallet" necessarily means it to be the only action you take. It's more a bare minimum. If you're inclined to moan about how awful something is, but you're still paying $5/month for it, it kinda bounds how awful it must be in practice. If it's that bad, stop paying them, as a bare minimum, not as an exclusive remedy. (Exceptions for monopolies like local internet or other situation where there are considerations strongly forcing you into a particular contract. Some exception for oligarchic situations where everyone has the bad terms... but only some. If it didn't even exist 20 years ago, you don't "need" it.)
