Do you vote with your wallet?

[O.G Willikers]

Just curious how many of you actually vote with your wallet? I see people all the time say they will boycott walmart or chic fillet or epic games or a million other things. But I have only ever encountered a few people who actually vote with their wallets vs just running off at the mouth.

So are there any products or corporations that any of you refuse to support with your dollars?

I don't think any of my boycotts are effective

This is probably true, I probably won't do it if it was only for that.
For me, I boycott something, things that I would like I mean, when they want my money but they don't let me enjoy those things in a satisfying enough way for me.
Ok I like that thing (otherwise it wouldn't be boycotting at all, if you don't like something you just don't buy it anyway), but if they just want me to pay for it just to have it swinging in front of my face like the pendulum of a hypnotist and then take it away from me as soon as I try to actually touch it then NO, I don't give them my money and I wish all the worst things to abusive exploitative scum like that.
If we are enough to force them to change and become more fair it's great, if not at least I have not wasted my money for those bastards, money that I can use for better things, or at least for things that I can enjoy more and better than that.

PS: many of you mentioned Apple, their products are trash lately, I wouldn't even say I am boycotting them, I just don't want to waste money on their garbage lol.
I liked Apple before iOS and OSX, both because Apple was better and Microsoft (Windows in particular) was MUCH worse, but today things changed completely, and have become so much better if you ask me since everything have always been on Windows anyway, expecially games. Apple sucks there is no need to boycott them lol, just avoid trash lol

The part that made me angry about the Chik-fil-a boycott was all the people who whined about how good the food was.

Like, yeah, that's how they make money. A boycott is designed to deprive them of that money. I honestly don't care how good the fries are.

I do, Epic!

I believe "their products are trash" may be an indication of why he doesn't like Apple ^^

Yeah I saw that part. Doesn’t explain why he thinks there trash. I think there overpriced but the quality and reliability are worth it in my opinion. Windows phones have never been good, find them awkward and low quality

Sometimes.

I never buy a game on sale on the Epic game store though, I always make sure to pay full price because I love the Epic game store so much and think they deserve full price for everything. Sometimes I even pay them a little extra, just to show them how much us gamers love them.

I hate them with a passion. They are a cancer on the gaming industry.

This would result in an extreme case of pregnant chads...
(And I completely blame Florida for screwing up two elections based on that issue with the punch-card ballots)
