I see your point but it's pointless when most people are sheeple. The 1% of power users never make a difference in the world of today.

Those power users are the ones who build the alternative. That path already exists, you simply refuse to walk it. The more who do, the better it gets.

But big business is very, very skilled at exploiting the parts of us that change behavior. Who am I, with a few words, to convince you to change, regardless of how much better would be if you did, when I'm up against the relentless propaganda expertise that convinces you, everyday, to keep accepting the path that is worse in the long run?

And then what? Nobody uses it besides other power users. You get no money, no support, besidrs that of your little group of people with a brain.

That path already exists, you simply refuse to walk it.

Do I? Weird, I guess informing literally everyone I know is meaningless then.

Why are you talking about me and what I do and refuse to do like you know me?

I agree with you, but the way you put it, really puts me off.
