> Voting with our dollars doesn't work when these companies are so integrated with our lives. I don't think I agree with this. I don't know what product you're referring to, but thinking back to other times I've heard people say this, it's been for things like a streaming service, or a credit card, or a phone. These things are conveniences that can be replaced, and a better way to describe our relationships to them is "it would be a small to moderate inconvenience to find an alternative or do without them, and I don't want to do that". But I do feel strongly that, if we can't make good, informed decisions as consumers in a more or less free market, we're headed in a bad direction. Either we'll just keep buying things from whatever malevolent company has the market cornered, or we'll regulate so strongly that we have the choice made for us by a committee somewhere. The best alternative is that we do research before buying things, support good products, and starve the companies who make bad ones.
