        That’s not so easy when it’s something you already paid for and then they lay unacceptable terms on you and if you don’t agree they get your money and you don’t even get to use it.

          Buyer beware. Sunken cost is not a viable reason to continue getting fucked by a company.

          I mean, look at how bad it is:

          People are meaninglessly downvoting me because I’m suggesting they not use a service made by a company that notoriously and provenly has fucked them over for years.

          This is Stockholm syndrome. They defend the very thing that abuses them.

          Wait. Let me get this straight…

          You’re saying that I’m a “compliment good boy” for not putting up with the bullshit antics of a major corporation and deciding to not use their shit product?

          Meanwhile, Lemmy is nearly bursting at the seams with kits whining about how “bootlickers” stick up for major corporations.

          Is today some sort of Opposite Day?

            Well while you’re choosing not to lick the boot that steps on you the rest of us are choosing to wear the the boot by ignoring the wishes of capitalist whores and exploiting their services that are bought and paid for as evidenced by a profit margin.

              ROFL! Good luck with that. They’re bigger and better than anything you can try.

              Your only effective weapon is your ability to not use their services. But you can’t do that, can you?

              And they know that. Because they know you.

                    Then why are you still on Lemmy if all you do is whine about it? Self awareness isn’t your strong suite is it?
