The issue with this is that pandering for profits is exactly what is destroying this country. If we’re gonna change the country it starts with those who have power-corporations-have to stop being afraid of pissing of the consumer mob.

These people don’t care about being a healthy consumer. A small bottle of arrowhead water just went from 99 cents to $1.79. That’s almost double. Most consumers won’t notice and will continue to buy arrowhead. I however am now boycotting the company. Not for social points but because this is illegitimate business practice.

I’m also boycotting YouTube for censorship and passing on the Apple Tax(YouTube music) to consumers which increases the price of the service 33%. I’ve had enough with submitting to greedy corporations and am in the process of creating a website that exposes greed in the consumer market in order to organize boycotts for change.

To their credit, BLM has made almost exactly the same criticism of the companies they feel are "co-opting" their movement.
