I saw this German documentary about the egg industry.

They ship the males out of country where they are raised in sheds, then sold to Africa.

I think the best solution is to not buy eggs. A good replacement is mung bean flour. It has similar nutrition and flavor, can be obtained cheaply, and spares chickens from being exploited by humans.

whether you buy eggs or not, the industry doesn't change

It does, its called a "boycott"

what is your plan to get enough people to boycott eggs to stop there industrial production?

Tell everyone that you can do very well without eggs, which then stops the breeding, mistreatment and inevitable killing of chicken, without the land use to grow their food, so nature can be restored there, capturing CO2, which then slows down and gradually turns back climate warming, so we can still keep growing plants in a moderate climate for our own consumption. It's a bit simplified of course, but you get the gist.

Percentage of vegetarians and vegans continues to rise, almost like people copy each others behavior or something.

it's not a strawman.

Just read the news in, let's say: 50 years time. I'm afraid it won't be pretty.
