It shifts the conversation from a systems critique to personal responsibility.

If there's a way to solve the problem myself without waiting until some corporate overlord deigns to change anything, I'll do that every time. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] some_kind_of_guy@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago I'll do that every time. Not everyone will though. It's not because they're not as principled as you are, maybe they just lack the know-how or time.
