I mean, sure, you can always not talk about or suggest them, but so much of what you’re dealing with day to day is probably from some big business. Also I am aware of the concept of universal basic income, but I’ve not really seen it framed/discussed from this sort of perspective, which imo at least is morbidly funnier.
At any rate, capitalists made this market where time’s money and ya always gotta be hustling, so if they think they’re owed free word o’ mouth, well, who’s all entitled then, eh?
The concept of equivalent exchange is non existent in modern capitalism*, so to the best of my abilities I only spend my money in ways where the balance is in my favor (e.g. spending $20 for something that provides more than $20 subjective value to me)
If the balance is in my favor, I have (in theory) already been paid to promote the product. If I choose to spread the word, it’s to enrich my friends, not the company providing the product.
*Will elaborate if requested
