The good ol’ Collective Action Problem.
The thing is, you don’t have to leave in order to get out. I know it sounds oxymoronic, but let me explain.
You’re not limited to just one social media account, that much is obvious to everybody. So, create an account on a competing platform, and be the reason someone else is able to justify quitting. If someone else says “hey, I want to leave” and you also say “I want to leave too,” but neither of you have even made an account elsewhere, nobody ever leaves.
If you make a new account elsewhere, then when that person says “hey, I want to leave,” you can say, “follow me on Pixelfed,” and even if they don’t uninstall Instagram, and just make a Pixelfed account, you’re one less instance of
I can’t follow the people I want to follow anywhere else
to keep them stuck there. You’ve now had them make an account, then someone they know goes through the same process you did, and so on.
Eventually, the alternative is populated enough that deleting the old service isn’t difficult anymore. All you have to do is be one of the people to take the first step, and become the reason for someone else to justify leaving.
Oh yeah, of course, but sold and shipped by Amazon (or other large brands) products are still the majority though. That or dropshippers that are adding 400% markups that don’t exactly have the greatest moral standing for why their crappily-made product deserves to be sold for $40.
My rule of thumb is, if it’s made by a major corporation, or clearly dropshipped, and it has any physical or visual flaws that were not likely based on the listing, or not what you’d expect for the price, then it’s fair game. (e.g. gloves developing significant wear within a couple weeks, color of lights not matching the tone or vibrancy in the listing, unexplained scratches/dents that raise concern over the integrity of the product, USB speeds not as fast as advertised, etc)
I don’t tend to buy from small sellers on Amazon, since I buy from them elsewhere, so I’ve never had to deal with that dilemma myself.
