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?
