Universal Music says that it will pull its song catalog from TikTok tomorrow at midnight, as the companies are unable to reach a deal on rights. Huge implications. (twitter.com)

I enjoyed Reddit, but then they started doing things I didn't agree with, so I left.

I used to want a Tesla, but I'd rather not support someone like Elon Musk, so I won't get one.

I used to love songs by a certain band, and then the lead singer turned out to be a pedophile, so I stopped listening to the music because it was no longer enjoyable.

Sometimes you've got to vote with your wallet, or your attention, or whatever affects the relevant party. Companies definitely affect you, and I don't think it's wrong to make decisions based on things other than just enjoyment.

I ultimately agree here that you should vote with your wallet. I never said nor suggested that one should make decisions solely on what they enjoy.

The top level comment was about how people are "taking sides" and that is ridiculous because the companies don't care for people. My original point was that someone might have a personal interest in the matter or an informed legal opinion, and might take a side based on these things.
