Voting with our wallets is unfortunately not a great strategy, as most of these companies have realized that they don't need to bother selling us things anymore. But it can be one of a toolbox... because it works sometimes. We do have other options, including shouting criticism from the rooftops, demonizing the CEOs behind this, and perhaps even voting at ballots.
