These schemes all have the same problem that reddit and Twitter have: they need me more than I need them.

This sentiment comes off a lot like "it won't affect me, I don't care".

Like, it doesn't really matter whether you decide not to use these websites anymore. Nobody should have to put up with this shit. That's why we take a stand against it.
