Hey, the best way to defund the oligarchy is to live a frugally as possible, cancel all your subscriptions, buy the least branded, least advertised bulk products you can. Don’t buy from major chains when you can avoid it. Turn on an ad blocker, or even better adnauseam.
If you can’t get some digital media direct from the artists, pirate it. Fuck the ethics discussion, any money you spend through an app store or through a major subscription service is quietly getting funneled to this shit.
Deny them your dollars and put your money away till things improve. Be a consumer on strike if that’s the least you can do.
ethics went out the window when corporations kept price fixing and bribing politicians for covering their crimes.
“Rules for thee but not for me” the oligarchs say.
Been a pirate since 98. Had about 10 seconds total guilt in that time.
