This is very obvious on discussions/articles about privacy and ads. There is a lot of talk about Meta/Google/Apple/Microsoft invading the users privacy, forcing ads, or screwing users on various different ways.

However, there are very rarely any mentions about alternatives:

Linux may do your job for your PC needs
DeGoogled Android (like LineageOS) may do your job for your smartphone needs
Lemmy/Mastodon can be used as alternative social media
Odysee/PeerTube may have the type of content one watches on YouTube

If there is no push for alternatives, capitalist services and software will continue to be used as tools for capitalism or fascism.
