We collectively create the expectations under which "growth" is a meaningful thing for a company to do. We can change those expectations such that "number go up" for the company translates to more of the particular thing we want and less of the particular thing we don't. We just need a bit of incentive redesign.

Maybe I wouldn't have bought it anyway, I should still be able to demand that it not poison my water. It's like we have the upvotes figured out but are lacking the downvote feature.
