We really need a non political leader to come out and push this agenda. I know it is up to us in the end but you really need someone in the public eye to say "Look, these companies are doing more harm then good and if you want it to stop then you need to stop using them.".

I think you have a point, except I disagree this needs a leader. IMO it should be anonymous and grassroots. It should have some bipartisan support though. Even a group of Trump-hating liberals recently signed a letter against cancel culture.

I wasn't meaning it as some leader to take us to the promise land or anything like that, I was meaning like a leader to just put it out there so more people would start talking about it. I just don't think enough people are even considering doing it. If you had someone with a voice to the public make some sort of announcement like that it would get more people thinking about it.

Not a bad idea. If this gets big, I was hoping to send the idea to Tim Pool or someone like that. It would need a website first though.
