Comment on Gamers enraged at Ubisoft for injecting ads into the middle of video games
soggy_kitty@sopuli.xyz 1 year agoI like to compare that argument to climate change. If everyone voted with their wallet to not buy/do things which are bad for the environment we would stop climate change over night.
Now think about how impossible that is and then remember that collective effort is just as difficult as stopping people buying things which contain ads

No it wouldn’t. Corpos would just put in more effort to hide the damage. Climate change can’t be stopped by individual consumers because they have no means to verify whether a product they want to buy hurts the environment.

There are products which you can guarantee have a major negative effect on the environment yet people still purchase them. This is exactly the same as people buying games and products with ads baked in.
