it used to be a scene on the internet where if an institution or group of institutions, say e-commerce sites, started doing something users hated, say requiring an account to browse and see prices, the users responded by building something to make the hated functionality go away, like a database filled with throwaway accounts for websites requiring accounts.

it still is a scene. bypass shit. share the bypasses. push back en masse. constantly.

like something? share it with your friends. not supposed to? who says? who cares? share it with your friends anyway.

hate something? do not share it with your friends. not to mock it. not to shame it. just don't share it. it's way simpler and is more effective at making the thing you hate not a thing as much.

all of this, everything we deal with, is about people interacting with people, sometimes by choice, sometimes out of necessity, sometimes under threat of violence. you're your best advocate in deciding how your side of that interaction is going to go, not the person on the other side.
