    Maybe some people, who are an ocean away from me, have been gaslit into thinking they can’t be anything other than a consumer. I know it can be difficult to grasp the concept, but you can refuse a service if the terms are unacceptable. It is possible to go into a transaction with open eyes and full knowledge of the rights granted to you by law.

      I just didn’t realize the distinction. TIL, thanks.

  It's very much consumer these days, people buy literally anything marketed to them.

    Then you should hold yourself to higher standards than “people”.

      I like to think I hold myself to a higher standard or at least just a standard. General consumption, I'm not sure, but for video games, people standards have dropped significantly, the masses accept a lot of bullshit and even defend it.
