Yeah because having some small passive argument is really going to change things?
Yes it’s fairly obvious we need them in some situations (you carry equipment on a farm).
But fixing the car problem is going to take proper activism and a greater push given it has such inertia and driving is so embedded. Not to mention corporate interests trying to preserve it.
Whats wrong with just paying for software you find useful / you want to support? Custom emoji are fun to me, so you just aren't the target audience lol
What's wrong with realizing that a business is charging money in exchange for product features, and then evaluate whether the features are worth the price?
It's one thing when they raise donations, and they leave you a custom window to put your price. But when you say "these features will cost 10 bucks for you" then it's not about whether you have the money or not, but whether the exchange of goods holds an equal worth for both parties.
And also, in the bizarre world where Discord monthly was 5 bucks but people wanted to pay 10 because it's that good (value is subjective, I get it), and they really want to show their admiration then nothing stops them from paying for 2+ accounts!
I've seen a similar argument for a game that came out that had no battle pass. "Oh I would love to have battle pass in the game, the company deserves the money for the good product", well buy 2+ copies and gift them to your friends or family then. No reason to burden the average player with added micro-transactions on a fully priced product to express gratitude.
