Agree with this comment and your first. Having ideals isn’t worth much if you aren’t willing to put your money where your mouth is. The cheap option is almost always the least moral one. “It’s better for the price” doesn’t justify - it does the opposite.
Fast fashion isn’t okay because it’s cheap, you’re just choosing to ignore the slave labor.
IKEA is cheaper but unless you’re truly going to keep the thing 10+ years you’re contributing to our throw away culture.
Examples go on
Cheaper is almost never the better alternative. You pay more to do the better thing, and if there isn’t a better thing, then sometimes that means going without. When it comes to meta, I’ll happily not take part in VR and wait for something else, or continue to use my existing equipment.
