Not yet. Happy to jump when there is a viable alternative. I'm not willing to give up all the conveniences and efficiency for a cause. Also, these campaigns rarely actually work. I would be more interested if there were an actual well thought out migration pattern in motion for regular consumers who will never care but spend most of the money
And this..will be our end. There are so many world problems where this is the answer. I'm not poking at you directly, just that this right here is why we can't have nice things.
I would respond by saying that focusing on the attitude or values of an individual or individual type is a convenient distraction from the truth that it is extremely impractical to do what you ask, at scale. The change has to be systemic. And the only systemic change that is practically on the table, is letting the system spin faster until it breaks. That is the only practical, proven path.
Name anything like this in history. Old solutions are well defended against by those in power
