While it is no secret that exploitative practices are interlaced with capitalistic tendencies, the practices are becoming intolerable. Signing up to pay usually takes only two clicks that are prominently visible whereas cancelation options are hidden away in deep settings requiring multiple clicks. Pricing often feel arbitrary with no reference points. Every large company grows with the intention of exhibiting monopolistic behavior. This is not sustainable and should not be tolerated.

    Yes. This is pretty fucking apparent but again, cant do shit about it because corps have paid off our politicians and we can do fuck all about it because we have no way to properly revolt lest we all risk bankruptcy and lose everything.

      The EU doesn’t let big corps bully their citizen with monopolies, maybe you could try to implement some of their policies at home

      Have you considered starting a electoral reform campaign in your state? We can change how we vote one state at a time so we don’t need federal reform. Look up a video on First Past the Post voting for more information on the spoiler effect and how it makes two political parties a mathematical inevitability.
