      This is capitalism, they will stop making the normal fridges and only make these fucking things. The only power customers truly have is through regulation(though we should still boycott things because it still helps).

              Yeah, true, but it certainly would add a lot of economic pressure on that industry.

              Yes, but most people would put up with it instead because they’re afraid of the consequences. As much as they use “hackers” for scaring everyone these corporations likely don’t actually care since they know it’s only a handful of people. They know they just need to be stubborn enough for someone to forget after even only a couple months, or to create a boogie man to discourage them from fighting back.

              It’s regulation or we’re fucked. Individuals do not have the necessary power to fight these large industries.

      That’s not really true, we’re at the point where oligarchs basically have the unlimited money glitch, they don’t give a fuck about what the consumers ask for and just demand that we want things that help them screw us over. That’s why every job and every application process demands that prospective employees have their own car and their own smartphone.
