This is the future that Stallman warned us about. They mocked him and said it didn't matter. It's not going to get better until everyone stops buying TVs with spyware built in.

Vote with your wallets or quit bitching. Self hosted is an option these days. But that means not being lazy. And people are really lazy.

Vote with your wallet

When are we going to finally accept that this is nothing but a delusion? How many failed boycotts over and over will it take?

I agree with the sentiment, but really more than a boycott where you're purposefully not buying something to hurt it, it's more like people opting out of something that's just bad. It does take a while of being put through the mud for most people to realize and more importantly take action, but eventually it happens. If you're following video game stuff, look at what happened with Baldur's Gate in contrast with Overwatch 2. We need some more time (unfortunately) and one daring competitor to offer the catalyst product.
