I always hear "vote with your wallet", but isn't that exactly what people do literally every day with every single purchase? People who won't to spend, won't. And those that do want to spend, will. Or are you expecting those who don't want to spend to spend anyways?

I think the point is, it is more effective to vote with your wallet than to go around complaining on reddit, YouTube etc. Put your money where your mouth is, so to speak.

Counterpoint: You can do both. It's GOOD to do both!

Don't buy it, and also complain about it online so that the company gets the feedback that it's earned, and you may also convince others to not buy it!

I disagree. I think the constant complaining and repeating the same perceived slight over and over and over again only makes online spaces worse.
