People will agree amazon is evil and needs to have less power but say it’s too convenient and cheap. They’ll say apple is too powerful while buying every new iPhone.

Most people really don’t care about enacting their principles, if it means giving up anything or spending 2 minutes of effort. Is what it is I guess.
Why the fuck are people still using X unless they’re literally alt-right nazis and pedos?

This is learned/programmed helplessness.
