It's already way too late. All we can do is get ready for the worst and pray for the best.

Praying isn't going to do shit. Stop using their services and start using others. Money talks. Companies, no matter how dense, aren't going to pump money into ad platforms that aren't generating any revenue. Until they physically take money out of our bank account, they can't tell us where to spend it.

If praying doesn't do shit as you claim then we are more fucked than you will ever know. I was ahead of the curve on social media. I've been online since the late 80's on BBS'. I never made a myspace, facebook or any other social media account until T_D, I have always blocked all ads unless I specifically support a site. I have never shopped at amazon, not even once. I wont go on, but you get the picture. I think you're mistaken if you think these companies need your pennies to keep doing what they do. I'm pretty certain they would have enough funds to keep this shit up for a very long time even if they lost all ad revenue.

I'm just saying hoping won't do anything - we have to actively participate. Also, not referring to Amazon. Referring to the news stations and social media platforms that have very little physical product and their entire revenue is based on advertising.

I lump in amazon/wapo with the others, as they are a big part of the media/big tech/deep state machine. It's all part of the same big picture to me.
