Obviously they're not arguing for that, but rather arguing for "voting with your money", so stop using services where abuse is evident/apparent. And yes, it's a fairly large list, but it's not unmanageable. Me and my family try to do the same, it's not a huge hassle and it's not like you have to look up every single company before you buy anything, but if something comes up about a specific brand like "Nestle" or whatever, then we change to something else. Lastly, the list is smaller than you think, I think. Most common consumer stuff you have at home is made by few huge corporations owning all the brands. "The Illusion of Choice in Consumer Brands" (https://www.visualcapitalist.com/illusion-of-choice-consumer-brands/ https://www.visualcapitalist.com/illusion-of-choice-consumer...) is a famous view that shows you the situation.
