Are there any online collectives that work together to stop this tomfoolery?

Same as it has been for the last 100 years: Vote with your money. If you don't like the product/service, don't buy it. Stop thinking you can force them to change their offering.

Vote with your money.

I really hate this phrase. It basically is saying that if you have more money then you have more "votes".

Or to put it in another way: If you have more money you matter more.

Yeah it is but it just irks me either way.

Edit:

I just want to clarify I am agreeing that in our current society that if you have more money you tend to be highly valued.

I am not agreeing that this is how it should be.

The crackhead down the road wasting away in his own piss and shit isn't equally "valuable" to me or anybody that contributes to society in a positive manner. I don't care how you spin it

Eh, found the right guy that needs to spin an unrelated argument so he can purposefully miss and derail the point.
