    It all has to start somewhere…

    That “somewhere” ought to be complaining to the FTC etc., because boycotts are hardly ever effective. We’ve put the mythical “free market” on such a pedestal these days that it seems like a lot of us forget that consumer protection regulation is even an option!

      I agree, but avoiding feeding in to the negative feedback loop that you want changed is a good thing until that happens.
