I need concrete examples because most things that people boycott can easily be replaced. They boycott X or facebook and instead use bluesky and tik tok so they aren't sparing themselves of that which they previously enjoyed they are merely changing their consumption behaviors. I don't necessarily agree with it but I am playing devil's advocate here.
Also, let's say I decided to boycott a business because they come out and said they hate bitcoin. Even though I am sparing myself of what I previously enjoyed consuming from them my opinion of them has changed so while the utility value of their products/services may not have changed the enjoyment of them certainly has. So am I really losing out?
