I'm really not sure if this is sarcasm. I think it is, but I've heard people say stuff this ignorant and actually mean it.

Pretty much everyone is bad at picking stocks. You should just stick to index funds.

How does one get from me enjoying chess despite the fact that the creators don't care about me...to me not caring what companies do? That's a massive logical leap.

Who implied it wasn't a problem? Certainly not I.

Then they should make it more clear, because that certainly is not clear from what they said.

Your account is 2 months older than mine. What's your point?

The top level comment said it was ridiculous that anyone would take a side. So while they didn't say you couldn't have any opinion, but that you were ridiculous for having one.

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.

No matter how far we move the goal posts, I'm still going to base what I enjoy on what I enjoy, and not on what corporations are doing or not doing. I find it a bit sad that people would let what entity controls something to dictate their enjoyment of it.
