    I find this kind of response insufferable. It shifts the conversation from a systems critique to personal responsibility. You could have posted this in response the OP, and it would be equally on point and useless.

      Critique the system all you like. The system doesn’t care. Call it ‘insufferable’ if you like, but ads are more insufferable. If there’s a way to solve the problem myself without waiting until some corporate overlord deigns to change anything, I’ll do that every time.

        Your only point here though is “I’m so great, you suck” which frankly doesn’t help anyone. Maybe provide them some tips.

        I’ll do that every time.

        Not everyone will though. It’s not because they’re not as principled as you are, maybe they just lack the know-how or time.

        Sharing the how and why would be more helpful - otherwise you’re just coming off as holier-than-thou. And no one wants to engage with that.
