Why would RAM manufacturers or large tech companies that have both stopped caring about consumers as customers be bothered by a boycott done by said consumers? Are you not seeing the problem here?

I am seeing that the term “boycott” means vastly different things to historians and the average emptor.
When I say «boycott,» what is the first that comes to your mind?

For me, it's this.
A rioting mob of Luddites, British workers who were opposed to increasing mechanization of jobs.🔗

Boycotts are by definition non-violent. You can't just use an outdated definition or make up your own if you want people to understand what you're trying to communicate. Just say riot, uprising or revolt instead.

Yep, vastly different definitions.

Just say riot, uprising or revolt instead.

“Revolt” here reads good.
Gonna get off your couch now?

Are you this abrasive in the real world as well or just online?

I’m sorry, did Samsung pay you lip service for them, or do believe corporations are friends?
