    “There’s no way just I will be able to solve this therefore nobody should try”

    Am I right in understanding this logic? Sounds kinda narcissistic and pessimistic imo. Not sure I’d subscribe to giving up because some people will take their frustrations with an industry out on the preverbal ex-cave dweller.

    You’ve stepped out into the sunshine, you’ve bore witness to the truth outside of the cave in all it’s maddening glory and now you want to try to convince people who are clearly comfortable being strapped in that cave, stuck staring at mere shadows cast by the sun outside. Maybe try to help get people unchained first and walking around before you try to explain the sun to them

      No no no, you misunderstand. I will wholeheartedly support anyone willing to try in any way that I can. I’m tired and I’m just trying to pass the torch.

      My point was that some of us have done what we can and are now just painfully yet knowingly accepting shitty terms. I’m not telling anyone else to stop, I’m just asking to acknowledge that some of us need a break without being called willfully ignorant. If you’re still willing to fight, tell me what I can sign, who I can harass, or what I can adopt without pissing off my wife. Until then, I’m just gonna read the contract and then regretfully click “I agree” because I’m too tired to keep doing the research myself.

        I don’t mean to offend but we will have to agree to disagree. I don’t think googling these things or tapping into mainstream news sources that educate on this stuff (the stuff you spend 50% of your life doing or interacting with) is too much to ask. I do think it’s lazy but I can certainly sympathize with your frustration. You do not have to purchase a smart tv to watch multiple streaming services. There is a plethora of resources out there that you could easily (and even with speech to text) ask for help with and be inundated with advice, strategy, and procedure.

        Your mindset is your own and mine is as my own.

        Some won’t care about other peoples problems until they are their own. The decision to be proactive in your life in the face of failure and difficulty isn’t something I can preach or force into anyone’s head. That’s something you gotta do on your own.

        Your journey isn’t my business, so there is no real judgment here from me, I’m just explaining how I see things from my side of the fence through my stained glass window.

          I truly admire your outlook and appreciate your perspective. For a moment there, I almost felt a spark of motivation. I’m gonna bookmark your comment and return to it from time to time and see how my feelings change. Who knows, you might have said just the right thing to get me back to refusing to constantly dine on corporate shit.

            There’s just a lot of people out there that love fighting this shit and make it accessible for everyone else. I wanna make sure those people aren’t forgotten about or neglected that’s all.

            It’s a pretty cool world if you just keep lookin
